La familia Goodenough ha dejado atrás la Nueva Inglaterra del siglo XIX para instalarse en los pantanos de Ohio y lleva consigo algunas ramas de su manzano favorito. Pero en el huerto que plantan se hunden también las semillas de la discordia entre James y Sadie Goodenough. Mientras James adora las manzanas dulces, Sadie prefiere refugiarse en la sidra.

El amor hacia los árboles, heredado de su padre, le acompaña en su viaje hacia el Oeste.
