Sandhill Summer II Betty Bruton Bradley

Four years after the new highway US-220 opened, we find the Braxton family has adjusted nicely to selling their peaches at the farmers market on highway NC-211, in Candor, North Carolina. This summer twelve year old Peg is looking forward to being in charge of their market stall so that her older brother, Aleck, can help his dad in the orchard and with deliveries. When a family health crisis occurs, Peg has to deal with more than just the usual issues of growing up. She has to learn about friends, boys, identity, prejudice, faith issues and developing into a young lady. Now she also has to worry about Aleck and her parents, too. Then vandals begin to strike the Farmers Market at night. See how Peg, Aleck and their friends team up to solve the crimes and stop the damage in time for the town?s peach festival.
