The people of Guthrie are divided-some want the opportunities the development will bring, while others are staunchly against any change-and they aren't afraid to leave their opinions with their tips.\u003cbr\u003eTime is running out, and the sisters need to make a decision soon. But Nora isn't quite ready to let go of the land, complete with a charming farmhouse, an ancient apple orchard and the clues to a secret life that no one knew Peggy had. Troubled by the conflicting needs of the town, and confused by her growing feelings towards Elliot, the big-box developer's rep, Nora throws herself into solving the one problem that everyone in town can agree on-finding Peggy's missing dog, Freckles.\u003cbr\u003eWhen a disaster strikes the diner, the community of Guthrie bands together to help her, and Nora discovers that doing the right thing doesn't always mean giving up your dreams.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"book-contributors\"\u003e\n  \u003cp class=\"contributor-item\"\u003e\n    \u003cspan class=\"contributor-role\"\u003eAuthor\u003c\/span\u003e\n    \u003ca href=\"\/search?q=Author+Louise+Miller\" class=\"contributor-link\"\u003eLouise Miller\u003c\/a\u003e\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Louise Miller","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47375673393315,"sku":"9781101981245","price":350.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0741\/7836\/3555\/files\/img_9781101981245_c256304e-2643-48aa-8566-fa958f6e23be.jpg?v=1776519615","url":"https:\/\/graffitibooks.co.za\/products\/9781101981245","provider":"Graffiti Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
