has sold over 500k copies and has great reviews! @tlcbooktours gifted us a copy of this book and I can’t wait to read it! The description below tells me that I am absolutely going to love it! Has anyone else read this one and loved it?

“It begins on the shaded town square in a sleepy Southern town. A spirited seven-year-old has a brisk business at her lemonade stand. But the little girl’s pretty yellow dress can’t quite hide the ugly scar on her chest.

Her latest customer, a bearded stranger, drains his cup and heads to his car, his mind on a boat he’s restoring at a nearby lake. The stranger understands more about the scar than he wants to admit. And the beat-up bread truck careening around the corner with its radio blaring is about to change the trajectory of both their lives.

Before it’s over, they’ll both know there are painful reasons why crickets cry . . . and that miracles lurk around unexpected corners.”

Thank you so much @tlcbooktours! Alyssa
