Sugaring Season: Stories from Thornton & Beyond

di Cameron D. Garriepy (Autore)

Bannerwing Books, 2020

In 1953, a young Naval officer returned home to his family and fell in love with the girl who met him at the train. Thornton's most enduring love story echoes through the generations that follow George Cartwright and Ginny Fletcher—from Walt and Molly Fuller's youthful passion to Elisha McNair's elegant rediscovery of a childhood infatuation, from Seth Weston's Big Hurt to George and Ginny's daughter's second chance at love. *Sugaring Season celebrates the sweetness of everyday love in eight short stories from the world of the Thornton Vermont Series. These eight stories can be read outside the series, or as a companion to the novels. Note: this is the first time these eight stories have appeared together, but some readers may be familiar with some of them already as newsletter freebies or previously published works. The eponymous final story--Sugaring Season--is brand new for this release.* Praise for Sugaring Season: Sugaring Season explores love stories over time and through the years, not just chronologically, but through different seasons of the characters' lives. From the first hints of teenage love to a second chance for a widow who thought she'd experienced her last waves of romance, Garriepy offers a collection of love stories that reflect various phases of love all readers will recognize and enjoy. Angela Amman, author of Garden Boulevard and Nothing Goes Away Treat yourself to this taste of what Cameron Garriepy's works always offer: irresistible stories tenderly wrought by an author who understands the sweetness of love. Julie C. Gardner, author of Forgetting Ophelia and Letters for Scarlet Thornton, Vermont feels real. Ms. Garriepy describes it with real affection, and her prose is sensual. You can taste the flavour of small-town America on every page. Literature and art - from Jules Verne to Van Gogh - entwine seamlessly with cow milking, college degrees, pizza and Scrabble. [...] Small-town life battles the pull of the wide world. The desire for adventure wrestles with the need to belong. There is love as rivalry, love in the shadow of chronic disease, love in absentia, love in the twilight of life: a tapestry of human experience woven from desire and longing. John Dolan, author of Fun With Dick, and the Time, Blood & Karma and Karma's Children series.
