Some journeys change what you know.
Some change who you are.
And some begin with a seed.
We all want to know where we come from. We search family trees, pore over old photographs, and follow the faint trail of names left behind by those who came before us. We hope that somewhere in the stories of our ancestors, we might discover something about ourselves.
Adriana Solón never imagined her own search for the past would begin with a box in her family’s attic—or that it would lead her across continents in pursuit of a story carried for generations in the very seeds planted on her family’s California almond orchard.
With Daniel Mendoza—the orchard’s manager and her childhood companion—by her side, Adriana follows a trail of forgotten documents, family secrets, and ancient almonds whose genetic history may hold answers neither family expected to find.
But as secrets of their ancestry come to light, the two must confront the delicate balance between history and heart—and what it truly means to inherit a legacy.
Testament of the Seeds is a sweeping novel of courage and discovery, where the mysteries of the past test the strength of heritage, the reach of faith, and the enduring power of love.
For readers who love the historical intrigue of People of the Book, the family mysteries of The Forgotten Garden, and the sweeping journeys of The Seven Sisters.
Here’s what an advance reviewer said, giving it 5 Stars:
I honestly didn’t expect this to be quite such a page-turner, but I actually read it in one sitting. I enjoyed the unraveling of family history against the background of what migration actually means, as well as the secondary, even more personal story. This is a book I’d thoroughly recommend for the well-written prose and interesting characters.
