City-bred Jillian hated concrete and store-bought vegetables. She wanted a compost heap, fresh air, a man with dirt under his fingernails and the smell of rain on his skin. Obsessive, quirky Alec Gerritt, heir to the family enterprise, wanted a partner who followed his routines. Daughter Deanna, determined to join Oregon’s running elite, imagined Olympic medals until nature’s pendulum swung too far, and triumph turned to despair.
    This is a story of back-country roads, cows with personalities, farmers markets, county fairs, and splintered dreams. Set in the lush Willamette Valley, From Any Window opens in the hours after a deadly barn fire. What follows is a touching tale of the joys, perils, and hardship of learning what to keep and what to let go. Both heartbreaking and uplifting, with a supporting cast so believable you can taste the sweat, this is a novel you’ll never want to end.
