It's a comfortable, familiar (but okay, fine, sometimes lonely) life for its resident grocer Anita Odom. That is, until fourteen-year-old July shows up on her doorstep. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eTaking in the recently orphaned daughter of an estranged cousin had not been on Anita's to-do list. In fact, it's a terrible idea. Anita is ill-suited, ill-prepared, and absolutely certain the entire enterprise will end in disaster--for both of them. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFrom the moment she arrives, July seems to \"know\" what each customer at the Island Grocery needs. They're small things: a housekeeping magazine slipped into old Mr. Daly's basket or a coconut cream pie pressed into the hands of Pastor Chet. But one by one, these gifts start to change the lives of nearly everyone in town in ways much larger than they--or July--could have imagined. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIt's not long before secrets are exposed and questions emerge, and everyone in Ebey's End has to open their hearts a little wider to make room for it all.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAshley Ream \u003c\/b\u003eis a former journalist and the author of two previous novels. \u003ci\u003eLosing Clementine, \u003c\/i\u003ewas a Barnes \u0026amp; Noble debut pick, a Sutter Home Book Club pick, and is being made into a major motion picture.
