The apple orchard / Susan Wiggs.

Tess Delaney makes her living restoring stolen treasures to their rightful owners. People like Annelise Winther, who refuses to sell her long-gone mother's beloved necklace - despite Tess's advice. To Annelise, the jewel's value is in its memories. Tess's own history, however, is filled with gaps. She has a father she's never met, and a mother who spent more time traveling than with her daughter. So Tess is shocked when she discovers the grandfather she never knew is in a coma - and that she has been named in his will. Tess has inherited half of Bella Vista, a hundred-acre apple orchard in the magical Sonoma town called Archangel. The other half was inherited by a woman named Isabel Johansen, the half- sister Tess has never heard of. Against the rich landscape of Bella Vista, Tess begins to discover a world filled with the simple pleasures of food and family, of the warm earth beneath her bare feet. A world where family comes first and the roots of history run deep.
