Summary:
Janie Treehorne narrates the saga of three generations of the Treeborne family, who live near the town of Elberta, Alabama. Janie lives on an orchard at the edge of town, and in time, she has become its keeper. Elberta has seen fierce battles, violent storms, and frantic change -- and when the town is once again threatened from without, Janie realizes it won't withstand much more. So she tells the story of its people: of Hugh, her granddaddy, determined to preserve Elberta's legacy through his art; of his wife Maybelle, who shook the town when she became its first female postmaster; of the time Janie herself kidnapped her own Hollywood-obsessed aunt and tore the wrong people apart. As the world closes in on Elberta, Alabama, Janie's narrative lifts the veil and offers one last glimpse of her disappearing home.
