Tommie’s Tomato Stand by Patti Friday

Tommie by no means thought her little farm stand—stacked with tomatoes, contemporary bread, and pies—would place her on the coronary heart of small-town historical past. However Wasaga Seashore within the Thirties was filled with surprises. Between barn dances lit with twinkling lights, chocolate tomato soup wedding ceremony cake, cousins strumming banjos, and neighbors elevating toasts, Tommie discovers not solely her love story but in addition her place in a neighborhood certain collectively by braveness and kinship.

Amid the laughter and farm-fresh attraction unfolds a unprecedented occasion: the legendary 1934 transatlantic flight that roared into the skies from Wasaga’s sandy runway. Atypical individuals—beachers, farmers, households, vacationers, and dreamers—performed their half in a second of aviation historical past that carried the spirit of a small city all the best way to England.

Mixing humor, folklore, and heartfelt storytelling, 

Tommie’s Tomato Stand is a celebration of household, neighborhood, and the best way love takes root in essentially the most sudden locations.
