by Ann McMan (Author)

Welcome back to Jericho, a small town tightly tucked into the Appalachian Mountains of Virginia, where life and love have as many twists and turns as a winding mountain road. Join Syd, Maddie, David, Michael, Henry, Celine, and the irrepressible Roma Jean Freemantle as they band together to navigate the minefields of their ever-changing world in this newest Jericho novel.

Back Jacket

Return to Jericho, a sleepy town in the Appalachian Mountains of Virginia where life is anything but dull. Maddie and Syd struggle to find a new normal without their foster child, Henry Lawrence, who now is fighting his own battles after being reunited with his disabled veteran father. Henry befriends Dorothy, a young girl wrestling with her own family demons. Meanwhile, David struggles with Michael's growing passion for slinging hash in a local soul food restaurant; Lizzie Mayes and Tom Murphy come to a crossroads in their relationship; ninety year-old, Yankee-hating Azalea is hired as a beta tester for Grand Theft Auto VI; Maddie's patrician mother retires to Jericho and becomes uncomfortably attracted to a much younger man; and the irrepressible Roma Jean Freemantle struggles to pilot an unwieldy bookmobile and her growing attraction to another woman.
