Book Description: Betsy and Ty Franklin, owners of Franklin Dairy Farm in southern Alabama, have long since buried their desire for children of their own. While Ty manages their herd of dairy cows, Betsy busies herself with the farm’s day-to-day operations and tries to forget her dream of motherhood. But when her free-spirited sister, Jenna, drops off her two young daughters for “just two weeks,” Betsy’s carefully constructed wall of self-protection begins to crumble.
As the two weeks stretch deeper into the Alabama summer, Betsy and Ty learn to navigate the new additions in their world—and revel in the laughter that now fills their home. Meanwhile, record temperatures promise to usher in the most active hurricane season in decades.
Attending an art retreat four hundred miles away, Jenna is fighting her own battles. She finally has time and energy to focus on her photography, a lifelong ambition. But she wonders how her rediscovered passion can fit in with the life she’s made back home as a single mom.
When Hurricane Ingrid aims a steady eye at the Alabama coast, Jenna must make a decision that will change her family’s future, even as Betsy and Ty try to protect their beloved farm and their hearts. Hurricane Season is the story of one family’s unconventional journey to healing—and the relationships that must be mended along the way.
My Thoughts: If you are a woman and have a sister(s) you will appreciate how Lauren K. Denton develops the sister relationship in this story.
Ms. Denton doesn't write a fru fru story full of ruffles and lace but a down to earth story that is a real tear jerker.
Betsy and Ty have always dreamed of having a family but it never happened. So, when this childless couple suddenly have two sweet little girls dropped off for just two weeks at their farm, things change.
Betsy loves her and neices and so does her husband Ty. The little girls add so much life, love and laughter to their very quiet home.
When Hurricane Ingrid arrives and threatens everything they've worked for it's interesting to see what becomes important.
Such a great read....life, love and relationships.
