Cal’s wife, Becky, has a spiritual gift: She is a seer who can conjure the dead, helping families connect with those they’ve lost. Margaret’s husband, Felix, is serving on a Navy cargo ship, out of harm’s way—until a telegram suggests that the unthinkable might have happened.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLater, as the country reconstructs in the postwar boom, a secret grows in Bonhomie—but nothing stays buried forever in a small town. Against the backdrop of some of the most transformative decades in modern America, the consequences of that long-ago encounter ripple through the next generation of both families, compelling them to reexamine who they thought they were and what the future might hold.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSweeping yet intimate, rich with piercing observation and the warmth that comes from profound understanding of the human spirit, \u003ci\u003eBuckeye\u003c\/i\u003e captures the universal longing for love and for goodness.","brand":"OUATB","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48489891037439,"sku":"*R0104149*","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0487\/5550\/7364\/files\/8940183482399_c22f37ba-3c1d-4512-bced-bc2e15f56cb6.jpg?v=1778095953","url":"https:\/\/shop.onceuponatimebooks.com\/products\/buckeye-a-read-with-jenna-pick-a-novel-1","provider":"Once Upon a Time Books AR","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
