A shameful past, an orchard camp, and a kindling romance…not exactly Little Men, but Bronson Martin never liked being compared to the March family anyhow.

Grossly outnumbered by the women in the Martin family clan, Bronson fights tooth and nail to be taken seriously among his mother and sisters who still, in many ways, think of him as a young boy. As the man of the house, all Bronson wants is to take care of his family and to work toward something of lasting value. But as his dream of an orchard camp and apple-picking venture take root, an unexpected woman shows up, threatening to distract him from all he’s worked toward.

Eight years ago, an irresponsible decision led to the death of Morgan Dalton’s best friend. Now, she’s returned home, hoping to make amends. When she obtains a job at the Orchard House Summer Camp, Morgan wonders if a new life is possible…until events at the camp cause her to relive her past in an all-too frightening way.

Can Morgan bury the demons of her past before Bronson’s Orchard House camp dreams disintegrate?

As summer draws to a close, neither Eric nor Eunice is where they thought they would be, but they both wrestle with the same important question: What matters most when the end is near?
