Novel with barn scene making love someone watches 90's

Unfortunately I don't remember much about the book. I read it I think in the 90's. I think that it had a lot of green on the cover but covers can change and memory definitely is not always right.

Please help me find this book - I think reading this book many years ago was formative for me but I can’t remember what is called.

Basic plot I remember is a woman who was possibly new to town. Or she lived there or already had ties there, but she was making changes I think.

I think she had neighbors who she got close to; may have been one or two kids in that family.

There was a scene possibly towards the end; the lady who came to town was making love with a young man (I think her neighbor or neighbor's son) and someone (his little sister? The girl his age interested in him?) saw them without announcing herself; the lady lowered her breasts to the man/boys mouth.

Here are the things that I think I remember (ie they may not be true): -the cover was a forest or similar; lots of green -I think I read it before 2000; certainly before 2006 -the lady may have been pregnant? But don’t know -I think she transformed the town in interesting ways -I think she lived near the boy/man she slept with

I’ll try to update this with other details if I remember them. Sorry it’s so sparse.

Not sure if it was a romance book or just a regular book with some romance in it. But I've been trying to find it to re-read it and it has been completely stumping me - hopefully you can help!!

>2 artfie: I recently read Amor by Isabel Allende which included excerpts from several of her novels. In one of the excerpts, a woman sees her husband and another woman having sex in a barn. I don't know the name of the novel it was taken from, but I'm hoping the author's name will jog your memory if it's the right one!

kwharton that's awesome but doesn't look like it - there was a marked age difference between the people coupling in the barn
