From the award-winning author of A Year on Ladybug Farm comes the continuing story of three women who learn what it takes to turn a house into a home.

A year after taking the chance of a lifetime, Cici, Lindsay, and Bridget are still trying to make a home for themselves on the newly-renovated Ladybug Farm. Life in the Shenandoah Valley is picturesque, but filled with unexpected trials- such as the introduction of two young people into the ordered life the women have tried to build for themselves.

As the walls of the old house reveal their secrets and the lives of those who have gone before begin to unfold, the cobbled-together household starts to disintegrate into chaos. And when one of their members is threatened by a real crisis, they must all come together to fight for the roots they've laid down, the hopes they share, and the family they've become.


After reading the first book I was prepared for a sequel that wouldn't be as good as the first book, but would continue the story. I was happily surprised when I discovered that the second was even better that the first and added a new dimension to the story. The author's ability to create engaging characters and a story that unravels at a good pace keeps the reader wanting more. It was very difficult to put the book down as I felt that if I just read one more chapter I would come to a good stopping place. There is no good stopping place in this book. You just want to continue unraveling the story of these three friends and their experiences on Ladybug Farm.
