Ash and Apple
Ash and Apple
by Beth Jones
Two broken pasts. One quiet farm. A love that roots deeper than memory.
Colin has spent most of his life tending the land at Willowdown Farm, burying the pain of a childhood marked by neglect, abandonment, and quiet survival. When the man who raised him dies, Colin is left with more than grief-he is left with silence, echoes, and an aching emptiness.
Then Holly appears.
She's a barefoot stranger with ash-blonde curls, bracelets that jangle like wind chimes, and a past she can't quite trace. Living out of her campervan, she's always been moving-until now. There's something about Willowdown that feels like home. Something about Colin that feels like a question she's been waiting to answer.
As the seasons turn and new life blossoms around them, Holly and Colin begin to untangle the threads of their history. A lost file, a childhood memory, and a baby once found under an apple tree begin to piece together the truth neither of them expected.
But healing is never simple.
With a traumatised foster boy named Josh, a farm full of stray animals, and the weight of generations before them, Colin and Holly must decide whether love is something they can grow-or something they've carried all along.
Ash and Apple is a deeply moving novel about chosen family, old wounds, and the extraordinary power of love to root us where we belong. Perfect for readers who enjoy character-driven fiction with heart, healing, and a touch of fate.
