Garden of Ash

Raised near the Deep South's Okefenokee Swamp, gifted horticulturist Asher Ganit's relationship with the earth and its bounty was spellbinding to those who witnessed the fruits of his labor. Yet he shunned his family's legacy to attempt growing a garden of his own. The murder of his wife and kidnapping of his child destroyed it all.

For more than two decades, Ash wandered, riding the train rails as a hobo, keeping in touch only with his lawyer, MC Hammond of Lebanon, Kansas, who seeks tirelessly for Ash's son, Christopher. A possible lead sends Ash back to Dogwood, Georgia, and the childhood home of his late wife, Glennis.
Recently relocated to Dogwood, the Wesley family is struggling to find a place to call home. Tormented by secrets they keep from outsiders, the six members are welcomed to the rented farm managed by local businessman, Davis Mincey. Yet unbeknownst to all, their mutual link to the old Gallagher farm is closer than they could have imagined.

Born in the family that minds the Stone of Nourishment, Lirah Wesley's four children each have gifts for agriculture, which she attempts to subdue within them, as she once subdued her own gifts. With Asher's reappearance at the farm, the cousins are reunited. However, Ash notices an unusual birthmark on Finn Wesley, the only son of Lirah and Kirk, which can only mean that the legacy Ash left behind has not only been continued, but also, inexplicably modified.

During their time in Dogwood, Ash will reveal his reasons for running. Lirah and her husband Kirk will rediscover each other. Their children will use their gifts to find their way home. As the crops grow and are harvested in Dogwood, the community will nourish the family as they work through their own pain and heart breaks to become more than they ever thought they could be.
