Where the Ebony Grows

Where the Ebony GrowsA botanist restoring Mauritius's endangered forests unearths a sixty-year-old box of charcoal sketches hidden in an ebony tree-landscapes, portraits, and one unfinished sunset, all signed J. M. Teaming with the carpenter's grandson to finish the blind artist's final work, she uncovers not only a forgotten love story but the secret that binds their families together: a promise made on a beach in 1953, a promise broken, a promise that has been waiting sixty years for someone to continue it.
Where the Ebony Grows is a luminous novel about inheritance and fidelity, the patience of seeds and the persistence of love-and what it means to finish what someone else started.
