Hurricane Season

Betsy and Ty Franklin own Franklin Dairy Farm in southern Alabama and have accepted their inability to have children. When Betsy's free-spirited sister Jenna drops off her two young daughters for what is supposed to be two weeks, Betsy's emotional defenses begin to weaken. As the summer extends, Betsy and Ty adjust to caring for the girls and experience the joy their presence brings to the home. Meanwhile, Jenna attends an art retreat four hundred miles away to pursue photography, a lifelong ambition she has set aside as a single mother. She struggles to reconcile her rediscovered passion with her responsibilities at home. When Hurricane Ingrid threatens the Alabama coast, Jenna faces a decision that will affect her family's future, while Betsy and Ty work to protect both their farm and their hearts. This contemporary Southern fiction novel explores sisterhood, motherhood, marriage, and the personal storms—both literal and figurative—that shape family relationships. It includes discussion questions for book clubs.
