Cherryorchard Stories

When Joan Hardy returns to the Callahans' cherry orchard after years away, she isn't looking for answers, just silence. But a forgotten bottle of cherry wine, hidden in the cellar since the summer of 2000, uncorks a past she thought she understood. As buried memories resurface and old wounds reopen, Joan begins to unravel the quiet truth behind Frank Callahan's departure---and the love they both mistook for loss. Callahan Reserve is a haunting story of first love, missed chances, and the way time distills truth into something darker, deeper, and far more lasting. Biggest thanks to my friend for helping write the blurb! The story is inspired by Broken Country (Clare Leslie Hall) and Tom Lake (Ann Patchett).
