Book Description:

Sweetgrass is a historical tract of land in South Carolina that has been home to the Blakely faily for eight generations. But Sweetgrass--named for the indigenous grass that grows in the area--is in trouble. Bulldozers are leveling surrounding properties. And the Blakelys could be forced to sell the one thing that continues to hold their disintegrating family together. For some of the Blakelys, the prospect of selling Sweetgrass is bittersweet--for others, it is completly unimaginable. But as they find the strength to stay and fight, they realize that their bond as a family is all they need to stay together.
