In a time of crisis, two women come together. and set off down a road of
hope....
Twenty-one-year-old Jenilee Lane, whose dreams are as narrow as the sky is
wide, is the last person to expect anything good to come out of the tornado
that rips across the Missouri farmland surrounding her home. But some inner
spark compels her to take action-to rescue her elderly neighbor, Eudora
Gibson, from the cellar in which she's been trapped. To make her way to the
nearby town of Poetry, where the townspeople have begun to gather in the
only building left standing. To collect from the landscape fragments of life
that lie strewn about in the tornado's wake: letters, photographs-mementos
that might mean something to people who have lost everything....
Eudora Gibson is the last person to expect courageous acts from Jenilee
Lane. But the girl she's hardly noticed for years is now surprising
her-stepping forward with a bravery that inspires Eudora to face her own
bitterness over the past. Brought close by tragedy, Jenilee and Eudora will
learn lessons about the resilience of the human spirit and the ties that
make a community strong. They will travel to a place they once never would
have imagined.
