It has been two years since Sarah Sams, a divorced, mid-forties, art teacher, took a second chance on love and happiness. Selling her cottage in Hadley Falls, Sarah moved lock, stock and attic to Long Leaf Farm in Greenway, North Carolina. She and Nick were married in the formal gardens of that centuries old historic property. In search of her antique transferware for a party, Sarah goes attic diving and stumbles across four oddly shaped family photos of unfamiliar people. Captivated by what she sees, she takes a moment to study them, and carefully removing the rusty brads of one frame, she discovers four names printed on the back. One in particular catches her eye. Oliva Cromwell. Thirty years ago, she rented my inherited house on Washington Street, but why are these pictures in my attic ? A newspaper article hidden behind the last photo dated April 21, 1935, cements the resolve of Sarah and her best equestrian friends, The Rowdy Girls, an eclectic sisterhood of six. Olivia must be found. This discovery, leading to meeting Olivia Crowell and uncovering the secrets of a small town, as well as a horrific riding accident, take Sarah to the doorstep of an urealized dream. But is she strong enough to give it a try? Is the time right? And what will people say?
