"Grace, of Grace's Peak, loves her home above the village, above the whole island. All her trees are lush and full of ripe fruits, except for the one at the far end of her land. She hates that tree. So when the smiling, barefoot girl from the village asks Grace if she can pick fruits to sell at the market, it is from that sad, bare tree that Grace generously allows her to pick. Little does Grace know that the young girl's kind, loving heart and her sweet special song will make the impossible happen, and change life at Grace's Peak forever." -- publisher
