Purple Trees

Lonely Lily Phelps is orphaned and in debt at seventeen – but that’s not the worst of her problems. Her dark past, hidden even to her, causes her to see ghosts. A scared, naïve girl must grow up fast in a rural community if she is to find work, happiness, and build a future. She learns to cope, but the weight of the past threatens everything she loves. Because of her terrible secret, Lily must protect her family from the worst danger of all – herself.

Set in rural New England, Purple Trees is the story of a tormented woman, but it is also a story about love, hope, and truth.
