Grinza's Orchard

Sometimes you have to sacrifice the things you most value in order to bring happiness or even save the life of those you love. And sometimes a little help from the local witch or the village Guru can provide just the direction you need to persevere. As a young gypsy girl growing up in Romania in the late 19th century, Grinza Lovell learns this at an early age as she protects her family and chases her dream of starting her very own cherry orchard.

As you read about Grinza’s life, hopes, dreams, successes and disappointments, you will come to admire this young gypsy girl and you will find yourself rooting for her as she faces adversity time and time again, but always finds her way to overcome it. You will cheer for her as you follow her adventures beginning with her childhood in Romania, watching her grow up, get married, have her own family and eventually fulfilling all her dreams.

Grinza’s Orchard is a magical, whimsical journey for kids of all ages from 8 to 100. It is moving and poignant and written to open our imagination to things beyond the mundane.
