After a failed relationship, Brenda Maxwell retreats into a successful career until she loses her job at 55 and has to sell her luxury condo. She relocates to a modern off-the-grid cabin in a West Virginia resort area while she job-hunts. Alone in an early blizzard, Brenda reflects on her past.

Instead of accepting a job in the city, she takes a chance on a new life in Chestnut Springs and a budding romance with its sheriff. But a false accusation could end her plan to grow blight resistant chestnut trees. She'll be jailed and lose her property too—unless her new friends find a way to help her.

Anyone whose life script has ever taken a wrong turn can relate to the people and possibilities in Chestnut Springs.
