The first blush of spring finds Melinda filled with great expectations and high-flying goals. She's officially taking the reins of her charming farm, the lambs and rescue kittens are thriving, and new life is popping up in unexpected places. 
 
But as the songbirds return and the garden’s soil is turned, not everything’s coming up roses: A no-nonsense housing inspector claims Melinda’s sweet deal with Horace could come at a high cost, and a plan to help the cats in her rural community draws skepticism from some of the locals. 
 
When Uncle Frank makes a shocking discovery in the town’s archives, the fallout threatens to dim Prosper Hardware’s bright future. As friendships are tested and family ties begin to fray, can Melinda restore the harmony in her life?
