Wren Hollow

Five years after his wife's sudden death, Caleb Marsh is still holding up the life she dreamed of: forty acres of Oklahoma grass, a stable of racehorses, and a daughter who has learned to say "it's perfect" so her father won't see how much she misses her mother.

Then a new teacher arrives at Luna's school. Camila Calloway has driven two thousand miles to start again after being left at the altar, and she recognises, at once, the child who makes herself small. When Camila offers a wooden comb and a jar of coconut oil, Caleb answers with the cruellest thing he has ever said.

It takes a broken-down car, a night of hail, and a letter he never opened for the two of them to begin to understand what each has been carrying. But the sky over Redbud Creek is turning green, and love, as Caleb will discover, is both the most precious and the most fragile thing a person can hold.
