About the Orchard Valley Trilogy series

The Orchard Valley Trilogy follows three Malone sisters -- Valerie, Stephanie, and Norah -- who inherit their family's Oregon apple orchard and, across three linked category romances, each find love while wrestling with the business and legacy their father left behind. Debbie Macomber published all three books in quick succession in 1992, giving the sisters' individual romances a shared backdrop of orchard management, family obligation, and small-town Oregon life.

Each book is named for and centers its title sister, following the classic early-Macomber pattern of pairing a distinct heroine with a single hero across a self-contained category romance, while the Malone family orchard and the sisters' recurring appearances in each other's books tie the trilogy together.
