Jessie Kennard escaped the burden of her troubled past-or so she believes until the death of her beloved father-in-law brings sudden changes. Jessie, her husband Will, and her teenage son Sam, leave the life they established in Columbia, South Carolina and move to the small town of Ridgeville. She struggles against her unwelcomed life path as she assists her mother-in-law in running her in-laws’ general store. As Jessie battles for her personal peace, the United States plunges into World War II, threatening the life of her son. And her husband only knows to protect her by keeping secrets. Sam’s fascination with planes leads him to discover a stranger with a bi-plane living on the edge of town. Jessie is determined to keep Sam from flying or even interacting with the stranger as Sam’s schemes threaten her control over his enlistment. Her life spirals out of control as tragic events inch Jessie closer and closer to confronting her past, facing her own fears, and reconciling relationships she has long evaded. Adult readers will readily connect with these highly relatable characters and their genuine struggles with navigating life and personal relationships when affected by deep wounds from the past. Grounded expresses how healing is possible through forgiveness.
