Happily fulfilled, Claire Patterson is single, a great friend, successful entrepreneur, children’s advocate, and part of the Palm Beach scene. It's business as usual as she's hired to solve an education crisis in a town in rural Ohio. Stepping out of her comfort zone -- life begins to quickly get out of control; she’s challenged by the environment and faces the mistrust and gossip of the townspeople towards someone different than them. There in this least likely of places, Claire stumbles upon true love. She befriends Ben Donohue, a successful Midwestern farmer. Nature’s aliveness and transforming beauty surround Claire and Ben as they spend the summer cycling and discovering a newness to life, love, and great fun. In 25,000 Seeds, Helen Noble takes her readers on a journey of body, mind, and soul, liberally laced with old-world wisdom and healthy recipes made from the local produce. Her elegant writing style gently reminds us not to hold on too tightly to what we think most important. It is only by letting go can we find deeper happiness at any age. 6:30pm
