Forty Years of Sunday Mornings: Episodes 19-20
(2025)(A book in the Silver Ridge Daily Story series)
A collection of stories by June Wilder
Forty years is a long time to wait for a ghost. It’s even longer to wait for the truth.
Betty Jo Vance is the "Spinster on the Hill," a woman who has spent four decades blending into the gray wallpaper of her Georgia home. She’s made her peace with the past—or so she thought. Until the night the cicadas scream a little louder, and a ghost from 1984 pulls into her driveway.
Sam Miller didn’t just leave forty years ago. He fled for his life, chased by the shadow of a gun and a lie that branded him a criminal. He’s spent a lifetime in the California sun, but he never stopped looking toward the East. He’s back now, with a lemon tree in his hands and a question in his eyes: Is it too late for us?
But Silver Ridge has a long memory and even longer secrets. Deputy Wyatt Coleman has built his career on the lies of the past, and he’ll do anything to keep Sam Miller from digging up the bodies.
From the quiet creak of a porch swing to a defiant walk down Main Street, Betty Jo and Sam must decide if they are willing to burn the old world down to build a new one.
In the heart of the South, the truth doesn't just set you free—it tastes like blueberry pancakes, smells like lemon trees, and feels like home.
The Spark Returns is a poignant later-in-life second-chance romance, perfect for fans of Robyn Carr and Nicholas Sparks.
Genre: Romance
