Under the Elm

Hoping for a better life in America, Kurt Freedman brought his wife, Selma, from Germany in the early twentieth century. After early successes, one tragedy after another ruined all their dreams until finally the entire family was only a memory. They left behind a treasure as a legacy to help some future family -- the Hewett family who later moved into their former home. As they raised their children, life took unexpected turns, and the discovery of Kurt’s wealth led to complications and final closure that tied both families together forever.

Ann Morean is the mother of five children, eighteen grandchildren, eight great-grandchildren, and she's a veteran of a lifetime of experiences. Writing was always her dream, but it wasn't until after her family had grown, and her husband of forty-two years had passed away, that her dream was realized. She has had many life struggles of her own, plus the dilemmas of her friends, all of which provide ample material for her numerous romantic novels.
