Planted For a Purpose

One tree. One brother and sister. A lifetime of love, loss, and faithfulness. Under the shade of a sycamore fig tree, Abner has lived a quiet life-one of tending soil, caring for family, and learning to listen. Planted as a boy, the tree has grown as he has grown, bearing witness to the joys and sorrows of a life faithfully lived. Through seasons of change, grief, and unexpected grace, Abner shares a bond with his sister Hila, forms memories with his beloved Rachel, and the sacred stories passed down by their parents, Eliab and Naamah. But when a stranger comes to town-one who sees hearts and speaks names-Abner's lifetime of listening comes to rest in one final moment beneath the tree. Planted for a Purpose is a gentle, yet powerful story about legacy, love, and the kind of faith that doesn't always shout but always stands. For readers who believe the quietest lives often carry the greatest truth.
