About this listen

After the death of her grandmother, reluctant heiress Madilyn Marak agrees to stay with her grandfather at the estate for the summer. There, she finds an old diary hidden in an antique desk in the attic—The Apple Diary—written by her great-grandmother Isabel.

In there, she finds the love story of Isabel and Lorah, along with a photograph of the two young women from 1933. The diary, like the love affair, was short and brief, but rich and vivid enough for her to feel a true bond with the women despite the heartbreaking ending.

She is determined to get Isabel's beloved apple orchard vibrant again. She hires the inexperienced Dylan Hayes, a woman soon to be homeless, to take on the chore of restoring the orchard to its original glory.

The normally quiet and reserved Madilyn finds a new joy in life as she becomes friends with the outgoing and energetic woman who has come to live on the property. As she is transformed from a stoic and passive heiress to a happy and spirited woman, she realizes the similarities of her journey and that of Isabel's.

Like Isabel, is she destined to marry a man she doesn't love? Or will she find the strength that eluded Isabel and follow her heart?

Absolutely LOVED this book

Well worth the read... the love story that's behind the book was unexpected and beyond heartwarming. I'm usually not a crier but the story broke me. So so sad, but I understood being the time it took place. I highly recommend this book. I will definitely will re-listen to this book.

From the Beginning to the End!

O. M. Goodness…without a doubt, this is one of the most well written, well performed stories ever. The love that grows between the two main characters captures you from the very beginning and will hold your attention to the end.
Abby’s voice, as she reads the personal diary will probably make you cry. She performs it flawlessly, tears and all!
Thank you ladies for such an unforgettable and inspiring audio version.

A love story the spans across generations

A sweet slow burn of a story with layers provided by the timeless forbidden love of the women before overlayed by the growing love of the present day. Abby Craden brings the story to life as usual.

I absolutely love this book!

This book was so well written. It was 3 love stories within one book and all the characters were developed so well that I felt like I knew them. I was only a bit sad that we didn't get more and I was sad when the book ended.

Refreshing characters and subject matter

I liked reading about a healthy, loving relationship, between two women. I cringed a bit every time Madeline’s voice became that of a 15 year old girl, when she was with Dillon. That really spoiled it for me. Wasn’t she 36? Still, I would recommend!
