Lydia's Stillwater Homestead

By Jessica Bradford

Lydia Fernsby lives a quiet, joyful life on her family's Ozark Mountain homestead-planting seeds, gathering eggs, and learning timeless lessons from her faith-filled parents. But when her cousin from the city comes to visit, everything starts to feel different.

With a glowing phone in her hand and the latest trends on her tongue, Lydia's cousin seems to come from another world-a louder, faster, flashier one. As the girls struggle to understand each other, Lydia begins to question her plans to attend public school.

But through weeding gardens, helping at Mama's "Dying Home," and sharing quiet talks under the stars, Lydia learns that some things-like truth, beauty, and love-never go out of style.

A heartwarming story about friendship, identity, and holding fast to what matters most.
