Description:
Raised by her grandparents in the Flint Hills of Kansas, Sarah Bryden puts aside her dreams of higher learning and world travel when her grandfather suffers a devastating accident at the local quarry. She leaves college and returns to the tiny town of Bazaar, working in the local roadhouse cafe, helping around the house, and nurturing in secret her creative spirit. Sarah is a loner, but there is a magic about her, apparent to all who meet her. It is evident in her grace, her beauty, and her kindness -- all of which set her apart from the ordinary, hardscrable lives around her. Also returning to small town life from their sophisticated lives are John and Susan Wilde. John has taken a sabbatical from Berkeley to settle in the middle of the country with his wife and their newly adopted son. They move back to Cottonwood Falls, hoping that the quiet and wide open spaces will ease them into their new roles as parents and fortify their frail little boy. When Sarah encounters the child, however, there is an instant connection, a feeling of old souls meeting, and John can't help but notice how naturally she takes to the boy -- in stark contrast to his wife, who has grappled uncomfortably with motherhood from the very start. Sarah awakens John, and she in turn is captivated by him -- his energy, his brilliance, his will. Around the structure of the classic romantic triangle the conflict unfolds. Amid a series of disasters of both the natural and man-made varieties, John, Sarah, and Susan learn to honor the forces of the universe that compel lives together -- and just as forcefully tear them apart.
