A renowned translator of Tang dynasty poetry, Hayley walked away from her career and her addict husband to raise Frith alone in a land populated not by ambition-fueled academics but by hawks, beavers, and other wild things--including their exuberant Bernese Mountain dog, Bear. They get by on what little they earn from their overgrown apple orchard and the syrup they make from their maple trees. Frith-- precocious, homeschooled, and a voracious reader--considers herself queen of this backwoods paradise. She is too young to understand the pain and regret that have followed her mother here. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eSeason after season, it is the three of them--mother, daughter, and dog--until the spring day when Rose Lattimore appears at their door and upends Hayley and Frith's solitary existence. When tragedy unexpectedly strikes, Frith must come to terms with heartbreak for the very first time. By turns joyful and searing, \u003ci\u003eThe Orchard\u003c\/i\u003e reminds us that, even during the hardest of times, the enduring power of nature, love, and friendship will prevail.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003ePeter Heller is the national best-selling author of \u003ci\u003eBurn, The Last Ranger, The Guide, The River, Celine, The Painter, \u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe Dog Stars\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003ci\u003eThe Painter\u003c\/i\u003e was a finalist for the \u003ci\u003eLos Angeles Times\u003c\/i\u003e Book Prize and won the prestigious Reading the West Book Award, and \u003ci\u003eThe Dog Stars\u003c\/i\u003e has been published in twenty-six languages to date.
