Ditch Weed (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781940189338)

Eighteen year-old Danae Gray hasn't see her older sister in eleven years. But there she is, just across the street, in this small North Florida town where Danae has only just arrived. Has fate finally brought them back together? Is it really even her?

Mevlyn Jenson, the feisty octogenarian owner of the WashAway Laundromat, can see Danae is lost, alone, and troubled. But Mevlyn needs help as much as Danae does, and the two quickly form an alliance. In exchange for room, board, and Mevlyn's freely bestowed advice, Danae begins to help Mevlyn care for her terminally ill husband.

As Danae unravels the tragic secret surrounding her older sister's disappearance, and Mevlyn comes to terms with the losses in her own life, Danae and Mevlyn create a new heart-family, filled with love and renewed hope.
