A memorable coming of age story exploring a hidden side of the home front during World War II, in which a Wisconsin farm community invites Nazi POWs to work the local orchards...with consequences no one could have imagined. As a farmer's wife in rural Wisconsin, Charlotte struggles to put food on her family's table. With rations, shortages and a cherished son sent fighting in Europe, even the natural beauty of Door County's cherry orchards can't make up for her family's hardships. So when the upcoming cherry harvest-their livelihood-is threatened by the lack of workers available, strong-willed Charlotte persuades the authorities to act on an unpopular plan: releasing German war prisoners to work in local orchards. Intertwined with Charlotte's story is that of her teenage daughter, Kate, who saves every penny she can toward her goal of going away to university, impatient to leave the orchards behind and see the world. When Charlotte's husband, Thomas, befriends Karl, one of the prisoners, and brings him into their home to tutor daughter Kate, the implications of Charlotte's decision become apparent-especially when she finds herself passionately drawn to Karl. Torn between loyalty to her soldier son and her feelings for Karl, Charlotte fails to see that Kate is becoming a young woman, with dreams and temptations of her own-including a secret romance with wealthy Clay, son of a war-profiteering senator, who shows her a world of privilege she's never known. A horrifying crime involving Karl leads to a cover-up, raising suspicion among the neighbors about the POWs, even as Kate becomes suspicious of her mother's activities. And when their beloved Ben returns home from Germany nursing war wounds and a hatred of Germans, secrets threaten to explode their little world. An atmospheric and evocative debut, THE CHERRY HARVEST is a novel of patriotism and pride, first loves and illicit loves, loyalty and longing, passion and simmering tensions-and the heightened stakes of bringing war home

Product Description:
Cherry Harvest
Review:
“Sanna has adeptly interwoven details of life and hardship for many in the U.S. during this time with the very different lives of the rich who profited off the war . . . an impassioned and spirited historical romance.” (Shelf Awareness)

“At times romantic, scheming, heartbreaking, and tragic, Lucy Sanna’s fiction debut takes us to an America only just receding from memory. It is a time of war, love, and passion, and in Sanna’s hands it all becomes undeniably and vividly alive.” (Christian Kiefer, author of The Animals)

“A beautiful novel and a reminder that war touches every family, but never in the same way. Sanna’s engaging, unforgettable characters show how every action can resound in unimaginable consequences—and what starts out as an act of kindness might prove the most dangerous. Haunting.” (Amy Smith, author of All Roads Lead to Austen)

“A delight to read. The world she created was so physically real and the characters so engaging that I was instantly drawn in . . . I read the book at one sitting...and highly recommend.” (Nancy Farmer, Newbery Honor and National Book Award-winning author of The House of the Scorpion)

The Cherry Harvest gripped me from the first sentence. It’s a vivid, compelling, and beautifully written story, by turns lyrical and savage, as the well-drawn characters, consumed by passion, fear, hope, and hatred, move inexorably toward the unexpected climax.” (Gillian Bagwell, author of The Darling Strumpet, The September Queen, and Venus in Winter)

The Cherry Harvest is not just a novel you won’t want to put down—Sanna’s insightful characters and heart-stopping plot twists make it a tale that will stay with you always.” (Antoinette May, New York Times bestselling author of The Sacred Well and Pilate's Wife)

“A fine novel of life during wartime.” (San Jose Mercury News)
