This series is so perfect for morning reads with coffee or just before bedtime. The second installment in this series, it starts out a few weeks after the previous book ends. No romance, no big action scenes. Just Melinda working thru whether or not she wants to stay in the small town of Prosper, Iowa or head back to Minneapolis and her faster-paced life now that the summer is over. Lots of animals, gardening, and day-to-day life on a farm. LOVE!!
