Home to Sunflower Lane

Seventeen-year-old Ann Alwyn is positive her senior year is going to be awesome. She’s settled with her grandparents at Sunflower Lane Farm near Storey, Kansas, she’s dating Cameron Addair, she has a tight circle of good friends, and she’s poised to be Valedictorian of the Storey High School Class of 1991. After years of living with her neglectful father, everything is finally going to work out for Ann . . . until it doesn’t. A loved one’s health crisis compounds the stressors of Ann’s long-distance relationship, world events, and an unforeseen and formidable academic rival in Brody Remington, the new and popular boy in school. Ann navigates the multiple challenges of her senior year with the support of her family, friends, and her small-town community. Along the way, she discovers that home is more than a house, and a hometown is more than a dot on the map. As graduation approaches, Ann feels more secure in her family, first love, friendships, and studies. Then, an unresolved relationship from Ann’s past resurfaces and forces her to confront it and its aftereffects.  6
