Dust of Orion — Sharon McAnear

There are secrets galore in the little town of Chillaton, Texas... In the early 1970s the friendly residents of Chillaton are raising their cotton and kids to semi-perfection. But you have to hold your mouth just right, though, if you want to stay on everybody's good side...and out of the ongoing stories at Nedra's Nook. Jemmabeth always gives them plenty to talk about...with her art showing around the world and her persistent old flame, Paul, buying the sprawling Lazy J ranch in Connelly County. That's not the only thing going on, either. Jemma's husband, Spencer, has to decide whether or not to take a big risk. Lester, the entrepreneurial neighbor, is again up to something, and Lizbeth harbors a secret. To make things worse, the new society page editor at the local newspaper is determined to vex everybody with her advice. Join the fun, weather the perils,and get a fresh outlook on love, hope, and Latin, darlin'. An unforgettable, coming-of-age love story set in the turbulent '60s. Book Four, The Jemma Series.
