What it's about
June Calloway left Mercy Bell at eighteen with a suitcase and a vow, and built a tidy, portable life as a restaurant consultant who never stays anywhere past the launch. Then her great-aunt Pearl dies and leaves her Calloway Orchard — forty acres of heirloom cider apples, a press house with a leaking roof, a balloon loan due in the new year, and a handwritten condition: June must run one full harvest herself before she can sell. Standing between June and a clean exit is Eli Strand, Pearl's arborist of eleven years, who knows every tree by name, disagrees with June about almost everything, and has a way of being right that she finds genuinely infuriating. The town wants its orchard. The bank wants its money. And June, who planned to spend the season proving she owes this place nothing, keeps catching herself learning the names of trees.
