title: Color of the Flame
author: Holder, Ilena
description: Lilith Flatwater is feeling adrift for a variety of reasons. Previously married to an elderly Michigan blueberry farmer, she finds herself widowed. Trey, her son from an earlier relationship that ended bitterly, has now gone off to college in Missouri. Faced with running her U-Pick blueberry patch by herself, she’s not so sure she wants to do it anymore. With property taxes continually on the rise, it would be easier to sell out and move into a condo. When she meets a neighbor after having a flat tire, her life changes for the better—so she thinks. Trouble is just around the corner with her son coming home for Thanksgiving and already having made up his mind that he doesn't like his mom’s new mysterious boyfriend.
