A renowned translator of Tang dynasty poetry\, Hayley walked away from her career and her addict husband to raise Frith alone in a land populated not by ambition-fueled academics but by hawks\, beavers\, and other wild things—including their exuberant Bernese Mounta in dog\, Bear. They get by on what little they earn from their overgrown a pple orchard and the syrup they make from their maple trees. Frith— pr ecocious\, homeschooled\, and a voracious reader—considers herself queen of this backwoods paradise. She is too young to understand the pain and r egret that have followed her mother here.\n\nSeason after season\, it is t he three of them—mother\, daughter\, and dog—until the spring day when Rose Lattimore appears at their door and upends Hayley and Frith’s soli tary existence. When tragedy unexpectedly strikes\, Frith must come to ter ms with heartbreak for the very first time. By turns joyful and searing\, The Orchard reminds us that\, even during the hardest of times\, the endur ing power of nature\, love\, and friendship will prevail.
