The Cottonwoods
​Fifteen years after her mother’s death, Amber sets off to honor the promise she made--to find an ancient treasure hidden in the family’s century-old farmhouse. She doubts its existence, but the farm is about to be sold and if the treasure is ever to be found, it’s time. She locates her great Grandmother's journal which talks of shimmering golden coins, but also tells of her bitterness with her husband who stole her dowry and ripped her from her homeland. It’s a familiar concept to Amber who struggles with her own resentment about having to become a “mother” to her little sister, Claire, after her mother died.  Amber's life is about to get even more complicated when Claire shows up at the farmhouse and she's had a baby.
