Find someone... to love.
When a wounded stranger appears at his door, the fragile boundary between sorrow and hope begins to shift. A story of loss, secrets, and the power that blooms only through love. Can George and the mysterious visitor save the withering tree and will George's heart finally align with his mother's final words?
Find someone to love.
