Promise of Pierson Orchard
Promise of Pierson Orchard | Kate Brandes
4 posts | 2 read
Long before fracking ever came to Minden, Pennsylvania, the fissures in the Pierson family were developing into major fault lines. Green Energy arrives, offering the rural community of Minden the dream of making more money from their land by leasing natural gas rights for drilling. But orchardist, Jack Pierson, fears his brother, Wade, who now works for Green Energy, has returned to town after a twenty-year absence so desperate to be the hero that he'll blind their hometown to the potential dangers. Jack also worries his brother will try to rekindle his relationship with LeeAnn, Jack's wife, who's recently left him. To protect his hometown and to fulfill a promise to himself, Jack seeks out his mother and environmental lawyer, Stella Brantley, who abandoned Minden--and Jack and Wade--many, many years ago.

Fini! The last quarter is TENSE!!! The hits keep coming! (I love that my copy came with seeds to grow my own zinnias! :) How cute! I'm totally doing it.)

My polish matches the apple. Candy apple red. My favorite color for cars and toes. :)

Brandes skillfully weaves together a story about fracking (and its complex environmental & economic implications) with one of broken relationships & redemption. I'm a sucker for a love triangle and was immediately drawn into this one featuring LeeAnn, her fight club-inclined husband Jack, & his brother Wade, who has returned after 20 years as the face of an energy company. This will give you something to think about, and characters to cheer for.
