The leaves are changing, and Acorn Hill is full of excitement. Louise is off on a long journey with some folks from town, and they quickly discover that the age-old practice of storytelling is still a wonderful way to pass time. Meanwhile, back at home, Alice gets caught up in a good-natured competition between Fred and Vera Humbert, and soon the whole town is involved. And Jane is about to do something crazy -- and is loving it! The Howard sisters are about to learn that autumn can be a season of surprises. Once you visit the charming village of Acorn Hill, tucked away in rural Pennsylvania, you'll never want to leave. And you'll love spending time with the Howard sisters, who have begun a new life together in their childhood home, a gracious Victorian house that is now a bed-and-breakfast called Grace Chapel Inn. Here they rekindle old memories, rediscover the bonds of sisterhood, revel in the blessings of friendship, and meet many fascinating guests along the way.
