In this historical tale of friendship, family, and the power of sisterhood, three very different girls from varying social stratums find common ground as they each make a promise not just to accept things as they are anymore.

In 1936, at seven, Ginny Rose and Peggy were best friends, picking peaches on hot summer days. Peggy's family owned the farm, and Ginny Rose's were pickers, escaping the Oklahoma dust storms. Ten years, hard miles, and a world war later, Ginny Rose's family is back in town and their differences feel somehow starker. Especially since Peggy's new best friend, Lisette, is a wealthy banker's daughter. What they have in common: families with great fissures that are about to break wide open. When Ginny Rose imagines a radical plan to try to heal the rift in her family, these three not-quite-friends come together to see it through, hoping that they can build better futures for themselves in a changing world. -- adapted from Goodreads info and perusal of book
