Words Reveal the Heart (#38)
Polly’s friends and family are madly preparing for the upcoming Sycamore Arts Festival. Rebecca arrives home from her trip with Beryl Watson to Greece with less than three weeks to ensure she’s ready for the onslaught of artisans and crafters. The stress of the festival, exhaustion and sleep deprivation, while also worrying about her sophomore year of college all conspire to drag her back to adolescent behavior. To top it off, a stalker targets young women in Bellingwood. His list includes Rebecca.
Because one crisis isn’t enough, Heath asks Polly to look at a house on a property east of town. He knows this presents an opportunity to the universe and demands that she allow him to be the first person to enter the house. Having Polly find a body in a house he might someday purchase and renovate isn’t ideal for him or Ella. Little does he know that when the universe wants Polly to find a body, she will do just that, no matter how hard Heath or anyone else works to avoid the situation. When she calls Sheriff Merritt, his response was unexpected, yet surprisingly appropriate.
New relationships and old friendships, a few unexpected opportunities, and a surprise or two are all earmarks of a visit to Bellingwood. Polly and Henry’s kids are growing up. While they meet new challenges, they also remind us that they still have much to learn. Becoming a responsible young person is hard work.
Welcome back to Bellingwood.
New Beginnings (#39)
The moment Polly relaxed because things felt normal, she knew it was a mistake. Henry offered to take her away that very night. If only.
Raising kids isn’t easy. Raising kids that experienced trauma in the past? Difficult. Raising a kid who won’t talk about any of it? Frustrating. Caleb, now in seventh grade, has gotten caught up with a group of kids out to cause trouble. He’s become sullen and angry, stubborn and aggressive.
Reports of vandalism around town are filtering in. Polly fears those same kids are the perpetrators. It isn’t only Caleb. Her friends are also trying to figure out what’s happening with their children. Problems are bubbling over at school because an older student there is preying on children’s fears and lack of confidence. Who? Why? What’s the end game? The trouble has to be bigger than seventh-grade angst.
That would be enough for most people, but not Polly. Not only has she found a dead body, but she and Henry are considering an exciting venture with Sal and Mark Ogden. Rebecca’s roommate experiences a horrific crisis and the new sheriff’s deputy is asking odd questions. What is he up to? Henry’s business is surging. It’s short-term, but his long hours make everything more difficult at home. Polly ‘s guilt over taking so long to realize that Caleb was falling apart weighs on her. This will require more coffee. Not only for the caffeine, but for the companionship that comes with it, whether at Sweet Beans, Sycamore House, or her own kitchen.
