Bookroo's summary

Marly's father returns from war, changed and distant. Seeking solace, the family moves to Grandma's farmhouse on Maple Hill. As seasons shift, so does their fortune. Can the magic of nature mend a broken spirit?

From the publisher

Marly’s father came back from the war a different man. Something inside him seems as cold and dead as the winter world outside. But when the family moves to Grandma’s old house on Maple Hill, miracles begin to happen. The sap in the trees begins to rise, the leaves begin to turn, and Marly’s father starts to bloom again, like the world around them. This wise and moving story is a must-have for every reader’s library.
