About A Peach a Pear: It’s March, 1953. Nettie Gilbert has cherished her time studying to be a music teacher at Columbia College in South Carolina, though as graduation approaches, she can’t wait to return to her family and childhood sweetheart Brooks in Alabama. But, just days before her senior recital, she gets a letter from her mother telling her that Brooks is getting married… to her own sister. Devastated, Nettie drops out of school and takes a job as live-in help for two old-maid sisters, Emily and Lurleen Eldridge. Emily is fiercely protective of the ailing Lurleen, and their sisterhood has weathered many storms. As Nettie learns more about the sisters’ lives on a long trip to see a faith healer, she’ll discover that love and forgiveness will one day lead her home.
