Miss Emeline's Birthday Yard brings a warm, witty portrait of family, forgiveness, and small-town belonging.
In this tender, quietly humorous tale, Miss Emeline Parlow marks her sixtieth birthday with a day that becomes a milestone for community and kin. A birthday gift of calendars, a plan for a family reunion, and a backyard picnic unfold into a celebration of reconciliation, shared stories, and the joys—and fragilities—of connection.
Set in a close-knit town, the book follows Miss Emeline through her brisk, practical world as she learns to open her heart to those around her. It’s a story about differences, forgiveness, and the kind of warmth that only a thoughtful gathering can create.Les informations fournies dans la section « Synopsis » peuvent faire référence à une autre édition de ce titre.
