About this ebook
She has one year to save her family's orange grove. What she doesn't expect is the love that takes root beneath the blossoms.
In 1910 Orange County, California, Ginny Clay has always been her family's peacemaker, keeping the harmony intact. When her sister's marriage leaves her searching for purpose, Ginny turns her heart to her grandparents' beloved orange grove. A scale insect invasion threatens to destroy the grove, and her father wants to sell, but Ginny convinces him to give her one year to turn things around.
Ernesto Silva MacDonald, a Mexican-Irish grove worker with a gift for citrus and dreams of becoming a doctor, is Ginny's unlikely partner in tending the crop of oranges. Their shared adventures and blossoming friendship draw them closer than either expected, but their paths to each other hold more obstacles than they anticipated.
As grief, family strife, and social pressure close in around them, can what they've grown together survive the storm?
"Giron's work as Lauraine Snelling's cowriter has paid off in her attention to historical detail and family bonds. Her solo work brings a unique voice to Christian fiction, and readers will be hungry for more."--Library Journal
"I could practically smell the citrus groves in this warm, deeply felt story of family, faith, and second chances."--Lauraine Snelling, bestselling author
"A turn-of-the-century orange grove, an intriguing hero, and an overcoming heroine make the pages of The Scent of Orange Blossoms fly. A tender, timeless novel about what matters most."--Laura Frantz, Christy Award-winning author of The Saint and the Spy
With hopeful storytelling, Kiersti Giron presents a beautifully woven Christian historical romance set against the early women's suffrage movement in a friends-to-lovers story of forbidden love, faith, and strong women characters. Perfect for fans of Lauraine Snelling, Jocelyn Green, Elizabeth Camden, and inspirational fiction about overcoming hardship, beginning again, and following your dreams.
