The Turning Year

Time does not pause for the land—or for those who tend it.

As the farm settles into a fragile balance between tradition and modernization, a turning year brings unforeseen challenges. Markets shift, weather grows less predictable, and the next generation begins to question what it means to stay.

Through renewal and loss, labor and reflection, The Turning Year follows a family as they face the quiet truth that continuity is never guaranteed—it must be chosen, season after season.

Book Three of the On This Day series deepens the story of land, legacy, and the enduring human bond with the soil.
