The Orchardist by Amanda Coplin

Set in the early 20th century Pacific Northwest, this evocative tale follows the life of a solitary orchardist named Talmadge, who finds solace in the quiet rhythms of his apple orchard. His life takes an unexpected turn when two pregnant teenage sisters, fleeing from a life of abuse, seek refuge on his land. As Talmadge opens his heart and home to the girls, the bonds they form are tested by the harsh realities of the world around them, leading to a poignant exploration of love, loss, and the enduring power of redemption.
