Betty Baird's Golden Year

In a year when everything around her seems to shift, Betty Baird finds herself at the center of a charmed but bewildering season. Her closest friend Lois has grown distant, distracted by new admirers. Her practical concerns about the farmhouse mortgage hang uncertain over her head. And around her, a constellation of young men has begun to orbit her magnetic personality, each hoping to capture her heart. Yet the one who catches her eye is the very picture of her romantic ideal: a knight errant in modern dress, solid and true. But with so many suitors drawn to her warmth and spirit, which one will truly win her? As autumn settles over the valley, Betty must discern between genuine devotion and mere infatuation, all while navigating friendships in flux and an uncertain future. This is a portrait of a woman on the cusp of transformation, caught between the life she knew and the one she has yet to build.
