A heartwarming story full of love and sadness. Set in Glory, Alabama in the 1960’s as young Pete McLean loses his father to an accident in the cotton fields. After the loss of his father, Pete quickly attaches himself to field hand Issac Reynolds. But, when Issac goes missing, Pete’s world is turned upside down.

In Pete’s search for answers he quite literally stumbles across Dovey Pickett. Both Dovey and Pete have experienced loss and loneliness no teenager should ever have to endure, but it is out of this loneliness they become best friends. Inseparable, Dovey and Pete begin to fall in love, but loneliness is always with them.

A heartwarming story of love and loss in the deep south. As love grows, loss never leaves, but rather what you chose to do with that loss is the true meaning of character. You will fall in love with Luesse’s Pete and Dovey as they grow from young teenagers to respectful young adults. I was not prepared to connect and fall so deeply as I did to Pete and Dovey.
