Canning Days on Maple Street

About this book

Set in the fictional working-class town of Millfield, Ohio, this rich, ensemble-driven novel follows the interconnected lives of Maple Street's residents across two transformative eras. In the heat of 1934, a small neighborhood band together during the Great Depression to cultivate a backyard garden and preserve their harvest, finding solace and struggle in equal measure. Decades later, in 1957, the surviving members of this intimate circle reunite to face the encroachment of modern development, grappling with the physical and emotional legacies of their shared past. Through their quiet victories, deep-seated longings, and complex relationships, the story explores the enduring power of community, the costs of survival, and the profound beauty of a life sustained by human touch.
