Under The Oak Tree Characters

Three children. One fire. A lifetime of scars. Jay and Chase Hamilton grew up side by side, brothers bound by laughter and games in the courtyard of their crumbling apartment complex. Anna Rivera, their neighbor, was the sparrow who trailed them everywhere — small, stubborn, determined never to be left behind. But one careless spark changed everything. The fire tore through their home, leaving ash and silence in its wake. Their mother never returned, and with her absence came unspoken blame. Chase carried the weight of believing she died for him. Jay took the guilt of failing to protect them both. Anna disappeared under whispers and shadows, her name cursed by neighbors who swore the fire had been her fault. Twenty-five years later, the past is still burning. Chase is now CEO of the family’s printing press, driven, distant, and ruthless. Jay is a photographer abroad, still chasing moments he can never hold onto. And Anna — under another name, rebuilt and unrecognizable — has risen quietly, her fate intertwined with theirs once more. But ash does not stay buried forever. When the truth resurfaces, it will test the fragile bonds of family, loyalty, and forgiveness. Ashes of Yesterday is a sweeping story of childhood lost, of wounds carried into adulthood, and of whether broken lives can ever be pieced back together when the fire never really died.
