Is it their fault the beehive tipped over, the goats escaped, and the neighbor tripped over the maple sap barrel?

We're going over a bridge, into the neighborhoods, with Eila, Eden, Eliza, and Eva Storm as our guides. The Cast The people of Planted and Plowed are not polished or refined. The Storm sisters raised themselves, and now they're raising goats, bees, and hops in vacant lots throughout Pittsburgh. These stories wind through the back alleys and pedestrian stairways of the Steel City and spit you out in the Catskills when one of the Storm sisters inherits a maple grove in the fictional town of Fork Lick, just south of Climax. The heroines are barely making ends meet, and the men around town fall for them anyway. These books embrace the mess: the chaotic family fiascos, the ugly dogs, the donkeys with opinions, the businesses held together with duct tape and spite. The Books Against the Grain (Eila & Ben) Eila grows hops and doesn't do feelings. Ben's an autistic city inspector who should shut her down, but cannot bring himself to walk away. This book stars a three-legged dog, a rabies vaccine, and a whole lot of beer. And of course, the Storm sisters. And their opinions. The Burgh and the Bees (Eden & Nate) Eden is a bee whisperer, called to rescue her ex, Nate, from a swarm at his construction site. She's been let down her whole life. He's about to prove everyone else was doing it wrong. Come for the outdoor concerts, stay for the sticky situations and family fights. Yule Be Sorry (Eliza & Reed) Eliza runs a business sending goats to eat invasive vines throughout the city. Instead, they eat Reed's batch of hydroponic fir trees. Reed is not amused by this turn of events, and Eliza tries to make it up to him. Get snowed in with this pair, and a guard donkey. Join in when the Storm family fights over gingerbread structures. ★★★★★ "Yule laugh, yule cry, yule swoon!" --RedReviews4U Sappy Go Lucky (Eva & Asher) Eva's a relentlessly sunny influencer who inherits a maple grove she never knew existed. Her new neighbor Asher is a grumpy hermit web developer who hasn't seen sunlight in years. Ten-year age gap. Peak grumpy/sunshine energy. Take a tumble through the fictional town of Fork Lick and stay for awhile. The Storm sisters and their partners certainly do!
