Sweet Hush
by Deborah Smith
The sorrows and secrets of Hush McGillen's life are as deeply rooted as the famed Sweet Hush apple orchards her family has tended for more than a century. As a devoted mother, young widow, and successful business-woman, Hush has worked hard to restore her family's farming fortunes. At the same time, she has tried to hide the truth about her late husband and their tormented marriage from her son, Davis. Now, Davis suddenly returns home from college to tell his mother he has eloped with a fellow student, and to Hush's horror, the eyes of the entire world turn to her family and her private, guarded life-because her son's new wife is the rebellious daughter of the President of the United States. Delivering the warmth, humor, and unforgettable characters that her millions of readers have come to expect, Deborah Smith gives us a passionate, page- turning story about a surprising, unexpected love.
