The Fig Tree's Secret
A Mediterranean Tale of Heritage, Memory, and Family
When Sofia inherits her grandmother's Mediterranean cottage, the gnarled old fig tree in the garden is first on her list to cut down. Then old Mr. Costas comes running through the gate and begins to tell her what the tree has watched: three hundred years of harvests, festivals, and recipes her grandmother kept by hand. A tender story about the trees and people we almost lose by going too fast, and how some inheritances are made of stories.
