Family Tree

A Novel

De: Susan Wiggs

Narrado por: Christina Traister

From the number one New York Times best-selling author comes a powerful, emotionally complex story of love, loss, the pain of the past - and the promise of the future.

Sometimes the greatest dream starts with the smallest element. A single cell joining with another. And then dividing. And just like that, the world changes.

Annie Harlow knows how lucky she is. The producer of a popular television cooking show, she loves her handsome husband and the beautiful Los Angeles home they share. And now she's pregnant with their first child. But in an instant, her life is shattered. And when Annie awakes from a yearlong coma, she discovers that time isn't the only thing she's lost.

Grieving and wounded, Annie retreats to her old family home in Switchback, Vermont, a maple farm generations old. There, surrounded by her free-spirited brother, their divorced mother, and four young nieces and nephews, Annie slowly emerges into a world she left behind years ago: the town where she grew up, the people she knew before, the high school boyfriend turned judge. And with the discovery of a cookbook her grandmother wrote in the distant past, Annie unearths an age-old mystery that might prove the salvation of the family farm.

Family Tree is the story of one woman's triumph over betrayal and how she eventually comes to terms with her past. It is the story of joys unrealized and opportunities regained. Complex, clear eyed, and big hearted, funny, sad, and wise, it is a novel to cherish and to remember.

Starting Over Again

The characters in this novel were redeeming and their struggle is identifiable by many. Childhood family issues can definitely have an impact on adult choices. The development and flow of this story over time gave it credibility. Great read.

Completely lost in the story

A great escape! Lost in the story didn’t want to stop listening. upbeat! nice quotes to remember to brighten your day

Take me to Switchback, VT

Great character development as usual. Great story. Looking forward to next book by her because it seems she never disappoints

Loved it!

Such a warm and sweet story about family, love, success, and new beginnings! Heartwarming. Romantic.

Starting From Scratch

This love story has so many levels. All the characters experience ups and downs, love lost and found again. Most of all Annie and Fletcher. The narrator does a good job but the sound quality is lacking. The male voices are so quiet you have to rewind and turn it up to hear them only to be blasted by the female voices.

The way she developed the characters

It was a really good book! We loved it and look forward to listening to another of her books.

Very unique and enjoyable

The author’s writing style is unique and captivating. I loved the story and the characters. The narrator was excellent as well.

Perfection In The Kitchen

There isn’t anything that I don’t love about this book. From tragedy, struggle and then finding your passion and loving someone special, it’s all there. You will enjoy the journey. There are a lot of good people in this story.

Family is everything

Not everyone has a family that’s loving; however, here are two families with their own set of challenges. The story is how they overcome them with determination and love. The ending seemed a little blunt but the epilogue took care of that. Actually I wanted the story to continue as I really liked the main characters. Overall I was not disappointed. I’ve read several of Wiggs’ novels and enjoyed them all.

Amazing

Food, family, hope, and struggle it was an amazing story. The narrator was perfect highly recommended.
