Overview

... most of the photographs of their beloved older son and brother were never put back up. The anguish and confusion contained in the frames were too heavy for them to lift, too burdensome for any nail to hold-and in any case, they didn't need pictures to remind them of Riggs. He was never, ever gone from their thoughts. In this fast-paced sequel to The Alphabet Woods, Key North and her new charge, seven-year-old Wain Banfield, have moved into a rental home in Troy, North Carolina while Key's beloved Pike House undergoes much-needed renovations. Wain has started second grade. Everyone is adjusting well, and life is settling down ...... That is, until one afternoon when Key hears the heartbreaking story of a young man named Riggs who vanished without a trace twenty years before. Astonished that she hadn't heard the story, she feels a deep sympathy for the young man's family and an urge to see what she can unravel. Key impulsively dives in ... and finds herself in the middle of more than one secret.

Author Information

Orion in the Sunshine is Jenny Poelman's second novel and a sequel to The Alphabet Woods (2023). Because Jenny spent most of her childhood in South Korea, where her parents were missionaries in the 1960s and '70s, she is what's known as a third-culture kid-one who stands with a foot in each world, absorbing both. It was in this setting that Jenny's love for books and writing was born, though she was in her sixties when she wrote her first novel.Jenny and her husband Ken recently moved from North Carolina to retire in their home state of Montana, where the stunning scenery, casual lifestyle, and fresh mountain air provide extra inspiration for Jenny's writing. They enjoy sharing their love of the American West with their children and grandchildren, but North Carolina will always remain solidly in Jenny's heart and on the pages of her Key North books.
