Where The Apples Fall Gently
Carrie Chance
Some harvests are measured in bushels. Others in grace.
When burned-out city nurse Abby Keller returns to her family's failing apple orchard for one last try at saving it, she isn't expecting to find steady, quietly faithful Noah Talbot running the rows. He's the orchard manager who stayed when she left, the man who believes in pruning back to make room for new growth, and the one person whose calm presence unsettles her hurried heart. With the first frost closing in, a bank note coming due, and a harvest festival that could make or break the season, Abby and Noah must work side by side from dawn pickings to candlelit church suppers—rediscovering community, courage, and the gentle ways God heals what we hand Him.
As windstorms shake loose more than apples, old mistakes surface and tender hopes take root. Abby will have to choose between the life she built in the city and the legacy that calls her home. And Noah must decide whether protecting his heart is worth missing the future he's been praying for. In the hush between falling leaves and whispered prayers, two guarded souls learn that love, like an orchard, thrives when tended with patience and light.
This clean & wholesome Christian romance offers a slow-burn love story, heartfelt family themes, and a faith thread that feels like coming home—no profanity and no explicit content, just warmth, hope, and a satisfying happily-ever-after. Perfect for readers who crave small-town charm, second chances, and the reassurance that God brings beauty from every season.
