What it covers
About this book
Hazel Merrow left Vermont for a Boston law firm and swore she would not come back for anything but funerals. Then her grandfather dies in February and leaves her forty acres of maple trees, a leaking sugarhouse and a handshake deal with Jonah Tate, the quiet farmer next door who has tapped those trees every spring for ten years. She wants to sell by April. He wants one more season. Maple Season is a warm, funny small-town romance about sap, stubbornness and the smell of home.
The will was read at the Busy Bee Diner in Enosburg Falls, because her grandfather had never once set foot in a lawyer’s office and saw no reason to start after he died. Hazel sat in the corner booth in her good Boston coat while Mr. Leclair from the bank read it aloud over the sound of the milkshake machine. Forty acres of sugar maple on the north slope.

About the author
Callie Rowan
I fix other people’s commas for a living, which means I spend all day reading and most of the night wanting to write something with more kissing in it. I grew up on a dairy farm outside St. Albans, moved to Burlington for college and never left, mostly because of the lake. My books are set in the Vermont I know: sugarhouses in March, bookshops with creaky floors, town meeting arguments and roads that close the minute it snows. My heroines have opinions and my heroes own flannel for practical reasons. I live in a second-floor apartment on North Street with too many plants and a cat named Semicolon.
