In the garden of their new home, Clarissa and her husband Donald plant a small apple tree, a symbol of the future they believe is finally safe. After years of fighting cancer, Donald is in remission, and for the first time in a long while, their life feels almost normal. But when Donald’s illness suddenly returns, Clarissa is pulled back into a world of hospitals, waiting rooms, and impossible goodbyes she was never ready to face again. As grief threatens to swallow her whole, the apple tree they planted together keeps growing, quietly marking the passing of time and everything she has lost. Eighteen months later, with a young daughter by her side and apples finally ripening on the branches, Clarissa begins to understand that love does not disappear when someone is gone, it simply changes shape. The Apple Tree is a bittersweet, emotional story about loss, healing, and the small, beautiful things that keep us going when everything else falls apart.
