About the Book:
One era ends and another begins in this thrilling and thought-provoking final book in the Daybreak series. Community matriarch Charlotte Turner, now in her 90s, prepares to leave the world. Her granddaughter Petey, a single woman who owns the community newspaper, feels unready to shoulder the responsibility. In the mid-1920s Missouri Ozarks, farmers are struggling and the Ku Klux Klan has resurfaced. A deep and unexpected romance with an out-of-town social reformer only complicates Petey's life more. Petey has to draw deep on her resilient rural heritage to overcome the many challenges that face her as her community moves from the horse-and-buggy era to the modern age.
