Molly's Garden. Roz Denny Fox

      “Your heart is beating a hundred miles an hour,” Adam said.

      Molly couldn’t deny it.

      “Come inside,” he offered. “I’ll make coffee. We’re both spooked.”

      “I left the dog alone, and my house is wide-open.” Molly didn’t think she could go into the small tack room where he was staying. Where the only place to sit would be on Adam’s rumpled bed. “I had coffee with my friend Tess. More caffeine this late would keep me up all night. I’m fine. Really. I don’t think there’s a cricket stirring tonight.”

      “All the same, let me put on my boots. I’ll walk you back to the house. It’s dark, and the barn lights and your porch light don’t reach into the shadows.”

      “Okay.” She rubbed away goose bumps from her upper arms as Adam turned away. “And maybe put on a shirt,” she added feebly.

      Dear Reader,

      Book ideas come from so many different places. This one seeped into my head little by little, from a variety of sources. I’m a big clipper of newspaper articles. I cut a couple from our Sunday paper about some new farm-to-fork gardens that involved children in the planting process. The idea was that they’d learn to like vegetables after helping to grow a garden. At the same time that I saw those articles, I watched a documentary on TV about child hunger in the US and how schools are collecting food from area grocers to send home in backpacks so kids and their families have food over a weekend. I learned this is happening in my area schools, and our community food bank is desperate for more help feeding hungry families.

      Molly McNair came into my head as someone who loves to garden and wanted to fill a need. Another article mentioned that crop yields around here are plummeting as more land is used to explore for fossil fuels. So I had Molly’s conflict but needed to find her a suitable hero. Adam Hollister appeared as a contender. He has the background to cause Molly trouble. But nice guy that he is, he recognizes that what she’s doing to help poor families survive is more important than his former friends drilling for more oil. Oh, and Molly has a dog, a Doberman, that Adam wins over, too. I hope you like the good times I’ve given this couple (and that you enjoy seeing them triumph over the bad ones!).
