"Late March has blessed Acorn HIll with warm weather and colorful displays of flowers. But just when the Howard sisters are thinking of spring-cleaning and yard work, the inn suddenly becomes busy with two long-term guests. As usual, the sisters open their hearts as well as their home, and Alice finds herself mentoring a young doctoral student, while Jane becomes tour guide and genealogical sleuth for a traveler from afar. Meanwhile, Louise's rare display of temper is the cause of a heartbreaking loss. And rumors fly as people become enthralled by the discovery of mysterious animal tracks at Fairy Pond. Once again, the activities at Grace Chapel Inn are the talk of the town."--Cover. - from Amzon
