A young woman grows up with promise and opportunity, but one by one the people she loves are taken from her, and her world shrinks to the farm she loves. In West Woodbury, a small farming community, she must build a life. She accepts her losses, finds happiness in a smaller world, until one day she sees a light shining through the trees. Someone has bought the old Erickson house, and left a light burning in a back upstairs room. All at once, her quiet safe world is upended.
In a story of hardship and joy, a woman recovers something precious she thought she had lost forever, long ago.
Love Takes a Detour takes the reader into a world largely forgotten in the modern world--the world of small farms and the men and women who keep them going. We meet them sometimes in small-town crafts fairs or at roadside vegetable markets. But we never get to know them. In the story of Zellie's life, we discover a woman of heart and sadness, but also a woman who is ready to reach for what life offers.
