For ten years those words have echoed in the mind of Beatrice Sanders and framed the stark life of order she now leads. Every day must be clean, organized, and scheduled despite valiant efforts from her best friend Jodi.
William Connors gets through the day by losing himself in woodworking and farming. He’s haunted by the day he chose a woman who made sense for the farm, but not for himself, just like his father had.
Five years after William’s divorce their paths cross again when he needs to find a home for an overabundant crop of apples. Deliberately choosing the food bank where Beatrice volunteers, William hopes to plant a seed of forgiveness in her heart.
