It’s cherry picking time at the family farm in northern Michigan, and due to the pandemic, fewer pickers are available this season. So, Lara and her daughters spend their days in the orchard, picking sweet cherries by hand while they listen to Lara’s story of her summer theater experience at Tom Lake when she was their age. Strands of Lara’s story from the past and present intertwine in a wonderfully told story of family, love, loss, and redemption.
