Windrow Garden — Janet McClellan

   As a bitter, January wind whips through Leavenworth County, Kansas, Sally Windrow prepares for another hectic year of farming on the 620-acre spread that has been in her family for seventy-five years.  Unfortunately, her hired hand and chief mechanic is seriously injured in an accident.  Frantic because all the skilled labor in the area has already been hired at neighboring farms, Sally puts an ad in the local paper, hoping a good man will turn up.  To Sally's surprise, her ad is answered quickly... by a woman.   Forced out of the Army by an anti-gay witchhunt, Master Sergeant Nicole Jaeger is a trained mechanic and at a crossroads in her life, trying to find a place to start over.  New to the area, and with no ties to bind her, Nicole convinces Sally she will be a loyal and hard-working employee.  As Sally and Nicole work side-by-side to make the farm and roadside restaurant successful, the women develop a strong and trusted friendship that soon blossoms into romance.
