Heading home from a botany internship in the Ozarks, Liddie stops by the abandoned family farm. Expecting to find overgrown fields and a ramshackle house, she discovers five couples living there — and a gregarious Saint Bernard. The people seem friendly, but the longer she stays, the stranger things get. Are they a threat? Or a blessing?

Beckley, captivated by the vivacious young intern from the conservation project, is only too happy to delay his start at a New York law firm to come to her aid.

The mystery deepens as the couples tell their stories around a nightly campfire. Each is told as a personal experience, but they are set in different parts of history. How can that be?

Join Liddie and Beckley as they discover the miraculous truth about the five couples, delightful new feelings for each other, the incredible love of God — and the spiritual meaning behind the simple statement, “The grass is growing.”
