Watermelon Summer in Kentucky

Watermelon Summer - Anna Hess

 

Watermelon summer: a romantic young adult adventure

 

 "At first, all I noticed was a sprinkle of lightning bug flashes here and there in the valley, beautiful enough to someone raised primarily in the suburbs who had seldom seen their glow. But that was just the cacophonous–tuning phase of the visual symphony. Within minutes, every lightning bug went dark…then they flashed all at once in a blinding show of welcome. Above, the Milky Way shone back with a more steady, but equally soul – wrenching light. For the record, this was the moment when I fell in love with Greensun."
