Ilustration Concering Books The Garden of Eve
Evie reluctantly moves with her widowed father to Beaumont, New York, where he has bought an apple orchard, dismissing rumors that the town is cursed and the trees haven't borne fruit in decades. Evie doesn't believe in things like curses and fairy tales anymore--if fairy tales were real, her mom would still be alive. But odd things happen in Beaumont. Evie meets a boy who claims to be dead and receives a mysterious seed as an eleventh-birthday gift. Once planted, the seed grows into a tree overnight, but only Evie and the dead boy can see it--or go where it leads. The Garden of Eve mixes spine-tingling chills with a deeply resonating story that beautifully explores grief, healing, and growth.Describe Books In Pursuance Of The Garden of Eve

Her father can't take staying home where he remembers his wife, so he brings them to an orchard where the trees won't grow and the town is gray. Through meeting an old woman and
My favourite thing I can do with this book is to reshape it and expand on all those details that are there but could use some more detail. And in the end, even when I do reshape it can just go back to making sense without making the plot sound complicated.
