When Merritt Hamilton, the daughter of a rigid and sickly, small-town southern gentlewoman, meets mystical Ames Davis, the daughter of their new, sage-like housekeeper, the two set off on a lifelong journey of self-discovery, tragedy, loss, spiritual stirring and shared purpose.

 

From the loamy Mississippi Delta to the astounding beauty of the San Gabriel Mountains of California -- Merritt and Ames, each holding a key to the other’s fullness, are bound together, their hearts intertwining like the roots of neighboring trees. But they will have to break conventions, understand forgiveness, and ultimately, connect to their deepest humanness as well as their eternal spirits in order to survive the tests of the heroine’s journey. Must they yield to the mission that has chosen them? Can the heart soar once it’s broken? 

 

Land, Sister, Sky chronicles the long and complicated friendship between Merritt and Ames as they struggle to discover who they truly are and why they’ve been indelibly connected.
