Buttermilk Hill
Preview: Hear it

Finding a way to cope through poetry The days seem carefree for Piper Berry in her hometown of Buttermilk Hill, North Carolina days filled with fishing with her daddy and tenyearold auntbest friend Lindy and listening to her grandmothers stories. But then Mama, Tiny Lambert (whom readers may remember from Weeping Willow), announces she wants more out of life than being a housewife, and Daddy thinks this is unreasonable. He moves out and that ugly word divorce becomes a reality. Soon Mamas time becomes consumed with waiting tables and taking college classes. Daddy remarries, adopts two sons, and has a new baby daughter. Piper cant help but feel as if she doesnt belong anywhere anymore, and her only comfort is found in spending time with Lindy and their friend Bucky, whose life is full of his own share of family trouble. Pipers growing interest in and talent for poetry help her find a voice to say the things that are hardest and make an important decision about following her own dreams.
