Flappers & Fiction

In eastern Connecticut, Micah Rood tends his decaying homestead with a gentle hand, preferring the company of orchard swallows to his fellow men. His pride is a single tree bearing rare golden apples, the envy of every farmer in the district. But when a traveling peddler threatens to seize this paradise, a moment of blind rage stains the garden’s peace forever. Now, as the spring blossoms unfurl with a shocking, blood-red hue, Micah finds that the earth itself may be the most damning witness to his crime.
