John fears cows, hates hoes, and considers country air on the Hudson in March far too fresh. So when his wife asks where they should spend the summer, he has no idea how much her quiet determination will change his life.

Wheathedge is a village of crooked roads, improbable houses and rival town centres, perched above the Hudson River. John, a city man who would rather buy flowers than grow them, hopes to find a quiet summer retreat for his wife, Jennie, and their baby—but Jennie has a talent for getting her way without ever arguing. Her search will draw him into the intimate life of a country parish, where faith, community and private convictions do not always sit comfortably together. What, exactly, has Jennie set in motion with those first letters?
