Crossing the Ford

By Gail Hertzog

Ruby Holt is no stranger to hardship. Having lost the menfolk in her family to the war and her husband to the bottle, she is left to fend for herself and her children. That is until a woman named Kenna appears in the Ford, an arrival so surprising that time seems to slow as her extravagant possessions are carted to her place up the hill.
Ruby finds a friend in Kenna, and the two outsiders find a sense of family in each other, spending the warm summers preparing for brutal winters and celebrating the world's small pleasures; a serviceberry pie, a beautiful traveling suit, a poem recitation by the fire.
But just when Ruby finds a way to carve out her own bit of happiness in the Ford, a love triangle and the revelation of sordid details from someone's past threaten to tear this family apart.
