The Goodenough family has left 19th-century New England behind for the swamps of Ohio, bringing some apple tree branches with them. However, in the orchard they plant, the seeds of discord are also sown between James and Sadie Goodenough. While James prefers sweet apples, Sadie seeks refuge in cider. These irreconcilable differences affect their children and force Robert, the youngest, to leave Ohio in search of fortune. His love for trees accompanies him on his journey to the West, where he discovers love and the secrets of the sequoias. Among these ancient California trees, he finds comfort and answers.
