- Raised
- near
- the
- Deep
- South's
- Okefenokee
- Swamp,
- gifted
- horticulturist
- Asher
- Ganit's
- relationship
- with
- the
- earth
- and
- its
- bounty
- was
- spellbinding
- to
- those
- who
- witnessed
- the
- fruits
- of
- his
- labor.
- Yet
- he
- shunned
- his
- family's
- legacy
- to
- attempt
- growing
- a
- garden
- of
- his
- own.
- The
- murder
- of
- his
- wife
- and
- kidnapping
- of
- his
- child
- destroyed
- it
- all.For
- more
- than
- two
- decades,
- Ash
- wandered,
- riding
- the
- train
- rails
- as
- a
- hobo,
- keeping
- in
- touch
- only
- with
- his
- lawyer,
- MC
- Hammond
- of
- Lebanon,
- Kansas,
- who
- seeks
- tirelessly
- for
- Ash's
- son,
- Christopher.
- A
- possible
- lead
- sends
- Ash
- back
- to
- Dogwood,
- Georgia,
- and
- the
- childhood
- home
- of
- his
- late
- wife,
- Glennis.
Recently
- relocated
- to
- Dogwood,
- the
- Wesley
- family
- is
- struggling
- to
- find
- a
- place
- to
- call
- home.
- Tormented
- by
- secrets
- they
- keep
- from
- outsiders,
- the
- six
- members
- are
- welcomed
- to
- the
- rented
- farm
- managed
- by
- local
- businessman,
- Davis
- Mincey.
- Yet
- unbeknownst
- to
- all,
- their
- mutual
- link
- to
- the
- old
- Gallagher
- farm
- is
- closer
- than
- they
- could
- have
- imagined.Born
- in
- the
- family
- that
- minds
- the
- Stone
- of
- Nourishment,
- Lirah
- Wesley's
- four
- children
- each
- have
- gifts
- for
- agriculture,
- which
- she
- attempts
- to
- subdue
- within
- them,
- as
- she
- once
- subdued
- her
- own
- gifts.
- With
- Asher's
- reappearance
- at
- the
- farm,
- the
- cousins
- are
- reunited.
- However,
- Ash
- notices
- an
- unusual
- birthmark
- on
- Finn
- Wesley,
- the
- only
- son
- of
- Lirah
- and
- Kirk,
- which
- can
- only
- mean
- that
- the
- legacy
- Ash
- left
- behind
- has
- not
- only
- been
- continued,
- but
- also,
- inexplicably
- modified.During
- their
- time
- in
- Dogwood,
- Ash
- will
- reveal
- his
- reasons
- for
- running.
- Lirah
- and
- her
- husband
- Kirk
- will
- rediscover
- each
- other.
- Their
- children
- will
- use
- their
- gifts
- to
- find
- their
- way
- home.
- As
- the
- crops
- grow
- and
- are
- harvested
- in
- Dogwood,
- the
- community
- will
- nourish
- the
- family
- as
- they
- work
- through
- their
- own
- pain
- and
- heart
- breaks
- to
- become
- more
- than
- they
- ever
- thought
- they
- could
- be.~240 pages~
