Apple Muffin Cottage

Grammy was always proud of her harvest...

But there was another harvest that concerned her more.

"Fruit for God''s kingdom," she''d say.

"Fruit for the kingdom. People are like fruit. Handle them with lots of love and care, or they''ll bruise on ya."

Gracie LeMaster, a young widow and mother, moved back to Farmwell Valley, to the house where she was raised, to heal and take care of the "fruit" Grammy left in her care. However, returning to Apple Muffin Cottage has brought her unexpected challenges and raised many questions.

Could she have come in contact with her long-lost mother for the first time in thirty-two years? Why is the interim pastor at her church avoiding her at every turn?

Someone is playing a haunting violin in the snowy woods. Could it be the old Civil War legend himself-ole Jacob Barton?
