Six Saturdays: A Novelette

Product Details

Description:

Mara comes home the way people do when they've run out of reasons not to — one suitcase, a story about her father's knee, and the quiet hope that something simpler is still waiting for her. She finds the porch. She finds the coffee. And on the first Saturday, she finds Daniel.

He's been mowing her father's yard since the surgery, just a neighbor doing what neighbors do. He works in clean, overlapping rows. He doesn't perform for an audience. For a woman who spent four years in a city making nothing sound like something, that turns out to be the most disarming thing she's ever seen.

Six Saturdays is a slow-burn romance about two people who left careers that looked right and came home to work that was real — told one Saturday at a time, through coffee mugs lifted in greeting, a garden hose in the summer heat, and a pool in the pines that holds more history than either of them knows at first.

Some things are worth the slow approach.
