Faith Sunderly longs to pursue her interests in science and natural history like her father, but 19th-century British society expects her to be a proper young lady. When Faith discovers that her father's death was no accident, she looks for clues in his possessions and finds a strange tree. The tree bears fruit when she whispers a lie to it and the fruit, in turn, provides hidden truths through which she may find the key to her father's murder.--Ministry of Education website.
