When Abigail Clayton receives the unexpected news of Elaine Benson's passing, she is forced to return to Seagrove, South Carolina—a place filled with memories she thought she'd left behind. Abigail’s complicated past with Elaine, her foster mother, comes rushing back, especially when she learns she’s been left something in the will. But she’s not the only one called back to Seagrove. Celeste Greenway, a tough-as-nails contractor from Texas, also receives a mysterious inheritance. To keep Elaine's beloved home, the two women—once polar opposites in the same foster house—must live together for three months and work on a project that will determine their future. As they struggle with old wounds, buried secrets, and a lifetime of misunderstandings, they learn that perhaps they are more connected than they ever thought. Beneath the Willow Tree is a heartwarming tale of second chances, healing, and the unexpected bonds that form when life takes you back to where it all began.
