If Oak Trees Could Talk (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781500193027)

If Oak Trees Could Talk, what stories would they tell? If she was the old Oak tree that loomed over Henry William Tyler's side yard for well over a century, she would have more than enough interesting stories to tell. Maybe she would tell a humorous story about the time that Henry as a little boy helped himself to some fireworks from Mr. Harper's truck that turned out to be explosives. That was one Fourth of July that Mason Creek didn't soon forget! Henry ran like a scared rabbit and climbed up into the Oak tree's outstretched branches until the smoke cleared. Or, maybe the old Oak tree would tell more of an old fashioned sweet romantic story of a nine year old Henry meeting Helen Elaine Myers. He knew at nine years old when he pushed her in his swing that hung from the Oak tree that he was going to marry that little blue eyed, blond haired gal someday! Unfortunately all stories told by the old Oak tree cannot always be humorous or romantic. When Helen, the love of Henry's life winds up in a nursing home, Henry becomes heartbroken and lonely. Unfortunately, in order to deal with his emotions, he develops temporary amnesia and winds up in the same nursing home. The couple, determined to leave Glenview's Residential Home for the Elderly will do anything to resume their passionate pursuit of love and reclaim their lives. Henry discovers a key to unlocking his memory bank by revisiting the old Oak tree in his mind, as well as a few other unexpected ways. Who better to help him find his way home than the old Oak who knew all there was to know about Henry?
