The Orchard is the story of a street-smart city girl who must adapt to a new life on an apple farm after she falls in love with Adrian Curtis, the golden boy of a prominent local family whose lives and orchards seem to be cursed. Married after only three months, young Theresa finds life with Adrian on the farm far more difficult and dangerous than she expected. Rejected by her husband"s family as an outsider, she slowly learns for herself about the isolated world of farming even as she falls more deeply in love with her husband, a man she at first hardly knew.

An unforgettable story of struggle, resilience, and love in the American heartland, The Orchard will change the way you think about farmers and family.
