Where the Acorns Fall William Shelton

Will, an avid outdoorsman, meets a new neighbor while trekking through the woods near his home. The neighbor mentions that the makeshift barn on his farm was once the home of three young girls. He learns the young girls lived there during a great civil turmoil, somehow died, and were laid to rest under the ancient oak that one day would lie in his backyard. The thought of them haunts him, and his mind wanders to a time long ago. Time left them forgotten, but the girls' spirits reached out to be remembered. What is your story, girls? Who are you, and how is it that you came to be buried under the oak tree, where the acorns fall? Thus begins the tale.
