About this ebook
Abbie Rose Stone’s acquired wisdom runs deep, and so do her scars. She has successfully navigated the shoals of a long marriage, infertility, challenging children, and a career. Now it’s her turn to realize her dream: producing hard apple cider along the northern shores of Lake Michigan that she loves. She manages to resist new versions of the old pull of family dynamics that threaten to derail her plan—but nothing can protect her from the shock a lovely young stranger delivers when she exposes a long-held secret. In the wake of this revelation, Abbie must overcome circumstances that severely test her self-determination, her loyalties, and her understanding of what constitutes true family.

Barbara Stark Nemon has done it again. I loved her earlier book, Even in Darkness, and her follow-up did not disappoint. The fact that Hard Cider is of a completely different genre to her debut is a good indicator of Nemon’s talent as a writer. Hard Cider is one of those books that seems like it’s about one thing, but then reveals itself to be about something else entirely! I love those kinds of books – lots of layers! The protagonist of the story, Abbie Rose, is on a quest to start her own hard cider business and in the process discovers some family secrets that may derail not only the business but her family as well. This book is about determination, new beginnings, forgiveness and, ultimately, love. It’s an extremely well-written tale that kept me up at night turning pages. I didn’t want it to end!
