Tammie | 1 comments Book is told from 3 perspectives.
A woman who is widowed and living on a farm of some sort where they have wedding receptions.
The foster girl the woman takes in. (She has previously only taken in boys when her husband was alive).
And a man who is traveling to see the white tree- oak maybe?- and is on a lot of pain killers for a reason I cannot remember.
The title has something to do with trees.

It is mandatory to include genre and plot details in your topic header, as per the Group Rules.

Tammie, I copied plot details to the header/ topic title. Feel free to edit it.

What's the genre (which we need to add to the header) - e.g., adult historical or contemporary fiction, romance, etc.?

What is the story's time period and location?

Around what year did you read this book?

Carla C | 87 comments This sounds very familiar! I remember the woman living alone taking in the young girl; she starts using the farm as a wedding venue to help with bills; a man wanders in...eventually marries the woman. And yes, the special tree (can't recall why it was special) was an oak! I think for some reason it was set on the west coast of the US: Washington state? Oregon? possibly rural California? Will do some Googling on it; thought it may help to have the geographic location added to the thread.
