Glory Road by Lauren K. Denton - Illustrated Paperback with Purple Floral Cover

Condition: Fair Written in Lauren Denton's signature Southern style, Glory Road tells the story of three generations of women navigating the uncertain pathways of their hearts during a summer that promises to bring change--whether they're ready for it or not.  At thirty-eight, garden shop owner Jessie McBride thinks her chances for romance are years behind her and, after her failed marriage, she's fine with that. She lives contentedly with her fiery mother and her quiet, headstrong daughter. But the unexpected arrival of two men on Glory Road make her question if she's really happy with the status quo. Handsome, wealthy Sumner Tate asks her to arrange flowers for his daughter's wedding, and Jessie finds herself drawn to his continued attention. And Ben Bradley, her lingering what-could-have-been from high school days who's known her better than anyone and whom she hasn't seen in years, moves back to the red dirt road. Jessie finds her heart being pulled in directions she never expected.  Meanwhile, Jessie's 14-year-old daughter,Evan, is approaching the start of high school and trying to navigate a world of identity and emotions-particularly as they relate to the cute new guy who's moved in down the road. At the same time, Jessie's mother, Gus, finds herself forgetful and faces a potentially frightening future.
