When Emma Jackson inherits her late aunt’s sunflower farm in Sunshine Valley, Illinois, her plan is simple: sell the land and return to her fast-paced Chicago career. But Maggie left behind more than a farmhouse — she left Emma a challenge, a mystery, and a legacy worth fighting for.
Reviving the town’s beloved Sunflower Festival seems like the perfect way to honor Maggie’s dream. But powerful developers, led by the cunning Richard Calloway, will do anything to seize the land — even if it means tearing apart Emma’s fragile new world.
As Emma digs into the tangled secrets Maggie hid, she finds an unexpected ally in Jack Barnes, the farm’s ruggedly loyal caretaker. With sabotage, betrayal, and a conspiracy threatening to destroy everything she loves, Emma must decide whether to run back to the city — or stand her ground and fight for the future Maggie believed in.
In a town filled with second chances, whispered magic, and a love she never saw coming, Emma will have to risk everything to protect the farm, the festival, and the hope that even the darkest storms can give way to sunshine.
Heartfelt, page-turning, and rich with small-town charm, Create Your Own Sunshine is a celebration of courage, love, and the power of starting over.
Where family is torn, only love can mend what war has broken.
