In a small town in Northern California, the olives are ripening and the Keller women, a multigenerational family of firstborn daughters, are preparing to send their youngest, Erin, abroad. Although she worries about forsaking her family, she is compelled to take a chance at living her dream.
A crisis the day before she is to leave makes Erin question her choice. Is it possible that before she can return to Hill House, she might lose one of her beloved grandmothers Because, although she has three caretakers—Anna, her great-great-grandmother; Bets, her great-grandmother; and Callie, her grandmother—Erin has no mother. It is an absence keenly felt and never mentioned.
Under the Olive Tree offers a tantalizing glimpse into the secrets of the Keller women, which spill out in surprising and heartbreaking ways in the forthcoming novel The Roots of the Olive Tree. Enjoy this early taste!

I enjoyed the story; as a matter of fact, I though it was quite good, if a little too short,. Unfortunately, it was filled with far too many typos. Why wasn't this book edited more carefully? This is my first Nook book, and although it was under the "free" category, I hope this is not the standard I can expect.

18 pages of introduction. This should have been listed as a sample. Too many typos and errors in this for me to buy the book.

I enjoyed reading Under the Olive Tree and will definitely read Courtney Miller Santo other books. I need to find out more about what happens to all of the family members. I am hooked. There is always drama when you have multiply generations of women living together, but to find out how their lives affect each other is the true story.

The author jumps between characters too quickly before establishing them clearly. Very disappointed.
