Setting: Present-day California
Glory never dreamed that she’d be hosting a pirate wedding at her farm. But she has bills to pay. After the unexpected death of her husband Dan, Glory starts scheduling weddings in the stone chapel he built. To complicate things, a friend convinces Glory to take on Juniper, a surly 14-year-old girl, as a foster child. Glory thinks that this is a huge mistake, but she can’t turn Juniper away. Glory has her hands full with the farm, her horses, rescue dogs and Juniper.
Problems keep piling up, but Glory finds help in unexpected places.
Glory is a great character – stubborn, vulnerable, smart and warm-hearted. You’ll want to meet her and her group of unusual friends, and see how her story unfolds.
