Synopsis:
Welcome to Dutchville's Wedding-of-the-Decade!
The church is packed; the music's playing; the bride is nervous, but her
groom is calm. As eager as all are to see this wedding unfurl, hardly
anyone's paying attention . . . that is, until a startling pronouncement
rocks this already unusual ceremony.
But it's a letter furtively delivered at the
reception that will keep gossip humming all around Dutchville in the Summer
of '65.
Readers say:
"Fallow Fields is classic Hadley! It's

"As a retired, combat-hardened vet, I
prefer high-tech military thrillers. My criteria, however, for a really
good book is one which invokes an emotional response. Needing a book one
day, I picked up my wife's copy of Rough Terrain. I was
immediately drawn into the story—so unlike what I've read for years.
Hadley Hoover's Dutch novels set me on a wonderful journey of life,
love, and boys becoming men. In Fallow Fields, she left this
steely-eyed military man with a lump in his throat." [Glenn D
Scott, Lt Col USAF Ret.]

way to the end." [Maggie Hederstrom]

exquisite use of words, producing a rich harvest of characters and
events in Fallow Fields." [Lee Van Laar]
