Summary
In The Bones Beneath the Orchard, the Ironwood orchard hides the remains of a forgotten community, buried beneath its metallic-barked trees. When Eleanor and her children inherit the land, they discover its vengeance lingers in whispers, illnesses, and vanishing lives. Each new owner seeks its riches, but the orchard never forgets, demanding a price in blood and silence. Bound by fear, Eleanor’s children carry its shadow into adulthood, haunted by dreams of roots and crimson apples. In her final return, Eleanor confronts the orchard, vowing that her family will not be defined by its hunger. The orchard sighs but remains restless, a chilling reminder that memory buried in the earth cannot be erased, only endured.
