Resumen del Editor

A grieving widower, a determined girl, a courageous librarian, and a mysterious book come together in an uplifting tale of love, loss, friendship, and redemption.

Thirty-four-year-old Harry Crane works as an analyst for the US Forest Service. When his wife dies suddenly, Harry, despairing, retreats north to lose himself in the remote woods of the Endless Mountains of Pennsylvania. But fate intervenes in the form of a fiercely determined young girl named Oriana. She and her mother, Amanda, are struggling to pick up the pieces from their own tragic loss of Oriana’s father. Discovering Harry while roaming the forest, Oriana believes that he holds the key to righting her world.

Harry reluctantly agrees to help Oriana carry out an astonishing scheme inspired by a book given to her by the town librarian, Olive Perkins. Together, Harry and Oriana embark on a golden adventure that will fulfill Oriana’s wild dream - and ultimately open Harry’s heart to new life.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Josh Bloomberg narrates this charming story with a balance of heart, humor, and hope.... Bloomberg energetically portrays the large cast of eccentric characters." (AudioFile)

A Wonderful Audiobook (and a GREAT read)

I loved this audiobook and as I had the story in book form, loved reading it as well. The story involves the unexpected deaths of spouses, grief, guilt, redemption, magic, and trees, magnificent trees. The characters are very well developed and the setting magnificent. The listener or reader is transported to the world of a forest which includes a many windowed treehouse. I stopped in the middle of listening to call my daughter and text my brother to get both the book and audio version! The narrator does a superb job of reading. I am left with the wish that I, too, an old lady like Olive, could sit at her feet and listen to HER read.....

Intriguing characters and fantasy

The storyline is very compelling, following three main characters in their grief. I am not generally a fantasy reader, but the way magic is interwoven into the story is beautiful

Delightful

This is definitely not my genre but sometimes I need to get away from the mysteries and thrillers to something light. This fairy tale definitely fit the bill!

Liked it

It took awhile to get into the book and there were lots of storylines happening. Overall, I enjoyed it.

A wonderful story

I loved this book. Wonderful characters and storyline. A magical tale of dealing with grief and finding peace and hope.

Not my favorite

Cute story. Very long and drawn out, it took me forever to get through this book. I don’t recommend getting this book.

Excellent

I greatly enjoyed this book. What a treasure! (No pun intended) if you have a passion for the outdoors that includes our massive trees treat yourself with this book. A story with a host of characters that exhibit the best and worst behaviors set in the backdrop of a forest. Reader does a superb job of keeping the characters separate.

A truly magical story!

I rarely give 5 stars to a book because I save that for books that are really special. This is one of those books. It starts out like any other novel but pulls you into a magical world that makes you think. It's not a fantasy book but it's also not just straight fiction. You are pulled into the story like a child hearing a magical tale. It has many layers and was so fun to listen to! I will be buying the paper version of this book for my shelf.

Great Story!

I loved how everything was tied together in the story. the book was very long and could have benefited from some editing.

I love this one!

Even though it was a bit predictable, I found myself really enthralled with this story. A good listen and a happy ending, what could be better?
