Another wonderful tale from Ann Patchett. If you haven’t already come across this author this is certainly a good place to start.
Lara is recounting a story about the time she dated a famous movie star to her three daughters as they are harvesting the family’s cherry crop with her husband Joe. Lara and Duke were actors in a production of Our Town during a summer festival in Tom Lake.  This is a story of hopes and dreams and the resilience needed when things don’t work out quite as planned. 
Read this book and enjoy.

Thanks to NetGalley and the publishers for an ARC in exchange for this honest review.
