As three generations of women navigate the uncertain paths of their hearts and futures, one summer promises to bring change--whether theyre ready for it or not.

At thirty-eight, garden shop owner Jessie McBride thinks her chances for romance are years behind her and, after her failed marriage, shes fine with that.

She lives contentedly with her fiery mother and her quiet, headstrong daughter.

But the unexpected arrival of two men on Glory Road make her question if shes really happy with the status quo.

Handsome, wealthy Sumner Tate asks her to arrange flowers for his daughters wedding, and Jessie finds herself drawn to his continued attention.

Ben Bradley, her lingering what-could-have-been from her high school days whos known her better than anyone and whom she hasnt seen in years, moves back to the red dirt road.

Jessie finds her heart being pulled in directions she never expected.

Meanwhile, Jessies fourteen-year-old daughter, Evan, is approaching the start of high school and trying to navigate a new world of identity and emotions--particularly as they relate to the cute new guy whos moved in just down the road.

At the same time, Jessies mother, Gus, increasingly finds herself forgetful and faces a potentially frightening future.

For these three strong Southern women, the roots theyve planted on Glory Road will give life to the adventures waiting just around the curve.
