That was one of those dual timeline novels which takes you swiftly to a simple boys meets girls story that is being told but Lara a mother of three beautiful ladies while they are locked in their Cherry orchard farm during the covid pandemic.
Lara takes her daughters back in time when she used to be a rising actress who had been in a relationship with “Duke” their favorite superstar who is nothing like their Dad Joe.

It is a beautiful story about the choices we make in our early adolescence life which shapes our lives according to what is most important to us.
