The Forgiveness Tree - Elizabeth Mary Humphrey

You will find what you need there. That was the cryptic hand-written message Carrie Anne's grandmother left at the bottom of her will. But what did it mean? Carrie Anne was grateful for the gift of Gram's cottage where she'd spent memorable childhood summers out in the country, and it was a great opportunity for her to get away from the drudgery of her city life and dead-end job. But she wasn't expecting the hostility that awaited her when she arrived at Candleton to claim her inheritance. Jason, a brooding man with piercing eyes filled with hate, haunts her steps for some unknown reason. After stumbling upon Gram's journal, Carrie Anne realizes her life had become entangled in a dark family secret that causes a head-on collision with the intimidating Jason Dickinson. Carrie Anne struggles to make sense of the puzzling connection between Jason and Gram, while riddled with other mysteries surrounding the tree of lights, the startling death of her young cousin, Phillip, and a gnarled old apple tree. Her tension mounts as she can't deny her growing feelings for Jason despite his undeniable hatred toward her grandmother. Can she unravel the mysterious connection between Gram, Jason and the tree of lights before her time runs out? Can she solve Gram's cryptic message and truly find what she needs there?
