Beneath the Evergreen Sky: Some roots run deeper than you remember

Luke Wells ran away from his small-town roots sixteen years ago. He built a new life, became a teacher, a hockey coach, a man who belonged everywhere except home. But when his mother is diagnosed with breast cancer, he sells his father's house and returns to the Christmas tree farm he once rejected. He wasn't planning to stay. He wasn't planning to feel anything. Then he meets Claire Marsh, a woman carrying her own wounds, her own reasons for running. As Luke settles into the rhythms of farm life and coaching his nephew's hockey team, something unexpected happens: staying becomes easier than leaving. And Claire becomes impossible to resist. Beneath the Evergreen Sky is a novel about the roots we plant, the lives we build, and the courage it takes to choose belonging over ambition-especially when love is on the line.
