A Season of Mending (The Three Cedars Series #1)

Three Cedars has been Nora Lindy's home for so long the town no longer wonders what she's doing here. You bring her the things that need mending, and somehow end up revealing more than you meant to.

When Earl Whitaker dies in his own orchard, the county calls it a cardiac event, natural causes, and Three Cedars is ready to agree and move on. Nora isn't.

Then Darla Whitaker brings Nora her father's old vest for repair, and Nora finds a seam in the lining that isn't original, restitched with real skill and clear intent.

The closer she looks, the more it leads her somewhere she didn't expect: not toward Earl at all, but back to her own house, to a husband she buried three years ago, and a quiet part of his life she never knew to ask about.

Set among the limestone hills, orchards, and slow-turning seasons of the Texas Hill Country, A Season of Mending is a character-driven novel about grief, memory, and the things love leaves unsaid. For readers who love small-town secrets, unhurried storytelling, and a sense of place as vivid as the people who live there.
