📚 NOVEL: At the Edge of the Orchard by Tracy Chevalier
Genre: Historical Fiction

It’s 1838, and the Goodenough family is barely surviving in the swampy lands of Ohio. James is determined to grow sweet “eating” apples, while Sadie prefers the bitter ones for hard cider. Their struggle for survival and control is shaped by the unforgiving land — and by Johnny Appleseed himself, who wanders the region planting nurseries. Years later, their son Robert flees west, carrying the memory of apples with him all the way to the California Gold Rush.
