\nBook Synopsis:
\nTh at\, as he saw it now\, was his life's work: trying to make right what he' d gotten wrong. Wasn't that a fair measure of a person\, what they did wit h their mistakes?
\nIn the jubilant aftermath of the Allied victory in Europe\, Cal Jenkins\, a man wounded not in war but by his inability to serve in it\, shares a single\, life-altering moment with Margaret Salt\, a woman determined to outrun her past. Cal is married to Becky\, whose sp iritual gifts help the living speak to the dead\, while Margaret's husband \, Felix\, is serving at sea\, believed to be safe--until a telegram sugge sts otherwise.
\nWhat begins as a fleeting transgression becomes a c omplex secret that irrevocably binds all four of them in unexpected ways. As their small Ohio town remakes itself in the postwar boom\, the Salt and Jenkins families remain in each other's orbit\, and the consequences of c hoices made long ago begin to emerge\, reshaping their lives in ways that will forever impact the next generation.
\nSweeping yet intimate\, r esplendent with moments of deep emotion and unforgettable characters\,&nbs p\;Buckeye \;is a transportive story of love\, loyalty\, sacrifice\, a nd forgiveness.
