Rob Carswell has recently relocated to the picturesque Wiltshire village of Essington St Mary, but the reality is proving less serene than he had anticipated. For one thing, he is grappling with the pesky presence of a dog, but then he stumbles upon the distressing situation of his neighbor, Ilsa. Illness has taken a toll on her, and she is also facing the relentless bullying tactics of a builder determined to undermine the character of the neighborhood.

Amy Hatherall is feeling somewhat lost in the wake of her mother's passing, but a final, handwritten letter leads her in an unexpected direction to a great-aunt she never knew she had in Wiltshire. As the line of ancient hawthorn trees begins to blossom, they stand as silent witnesses to the blossoming of romance and new beginnings among the residents of the close-knit community.
