The seasons may turn, and the faces may change, but the stories will always remain… and they have the power to shape the future.

One icy winter morning, a baby is left on the front porch of a farmhouse with nothing but a threadbare quilt, a satchel filled with cash, and a tear-stained note. "Trust that she's meant for something more," the note says… and her new family has no idea just how important this baby will turn out to be.

Her name is Lily, and she grew up strong in the knowledge that she's been chosen. She's been chosen by the love that surrounds her and the stories she collects. She's been chosen to keep those stories alive.

Lily dedicates her life to stories and memory by writing and teaching, and along the way, she learns the most important lesson she'll ever learn: Growing doesn't mean leaving everything behind. You get to carry it all with you and keep it alive in the stories you tell.

She keeps her childhood on the farm alive with her writing and teaching, showing her daughter, Wren, how to do the same… But it will be many years before Wren finds out exactly what legacy she's carrying forward—it's something she won't know until several years after Lily's death.

Lily's life ran far deeper than maintaining the farm, teaching, or writing… She'd been keeping memory alive in a far more powerful way than she ever allowed anyone to know—and it had a huge impact on the future.

Wren launches herself into a quest to find out about her mother's past and understand exactly what she'd been doing… and she's in for some big revelations.

When seasons change, people pass, and silence settles, the stories always remain… Lily knew how to listen and keep the stories alive long after her final breath—and she knew better than most how important it is to do so.

Ashes in the Field is a powerful tale about life, memory, and storytelling.
