review 1: This is a quick and significant read telling the stories of Lydia Madison and Sara Castillo. This book ties the stories of the Lemon Orchard from the past and Lydia’s current life on the Christmas tree farm. Quite a lot of information is buried within the pages of this novella.

review 2: Although rather short, this story packs a powerful punch. It is the story of Lydia Madison, an artist who befriended Sara Castillo, an expectant mother who lives and works in the lemon orchards during a summer study work/trip. Though they do not have a lot
... more of time together, they forge a lifetime bond. This story focuses on the marriage between Sara’s daughter and the manager of Lydia’s family owned business, a Christmas tree farm in Connecticut. The story brings together the power of a natural disaster, the joy of memories of Lydia’s visit and the coming together of families who have arrived at the Christmas tree farm for the wedding. The story, though short as I said, is moving and heartfelt. My only regret is that it was so short, as I wanted it to go on and on. The characters, as usual for Ms. Rice, are well developed and the settings are described clearly and in depth. I have read most of her novels and love them all. I can now add this to that list. I think most readers who enjoy a good read will enjoy this one. I highly recommend it. less
