Books like The Olive Grove by Jean S. MacLeod


Rhea Langford arrives in Greece to join her mother’s relatives, hoping to find the family happiness she missed. Though she does not speak Greek, a strong desire and the presence of Nicos Metaxis help her glimpse that dream. Yet an ancient necklet—gifted to her mother by her father—reveals Rhea’s deep ties to her heritage and threatens the trust she is trying to earn. The loss of the necklace’s original buries Rhea’s hopes, raising the question of whether her love for her Greek roots will ultimately destroy or strengthen the new family she is trying to create.
