The aged Garnett desperately tries to save the disappearing American Chestnut tree, crossing and re-crossing genes. Each of the three protagonists looks to the wild to solve their essentially human problems.

Kingsolver interweaves three story strands set in the fictional Zebulon County near the border of North Carolina and Tennessee.
