Thorntree

For a town that waits each day for the promising coolness of evening, ambition doesn’t usually mean more than a new air conditioner. However, a recently elected mayor has unexpectedly caused something to stir. Out of the shade of the town’s porches and verandas comes a host of consequences that would be hard to imagine, were it not for a Chief of Police desperate for a crime, a café owner feared more than her coffee, a reluctant visitor about to become more sought after than even he could imagine, and an astonishingly successful avocado farmer with his large and rather unpredictable sons. That is just the beginning. As the shadows pass from one end of the town’s verandas to the other, so a story unfolds of such scope and immensity, that it could only come from a small town in the middle of nowhere, called Thorntree.
