Description

Tim Kerschner’s attachment to a solitary aspen on property he inherits goes much deeper than aesthetics. Can he make landscape architect Ryann Dean understand his refusal to let her chop down this single tree in a forest of them?

Ryann loves her job in Bliss, Oregon. Junior high teacher Tim Kerschner, on the other hand, she’d be happy to have never met. The man’s handsome face loses any appeal in light of his arrogance and obvious inclination to violence—the latter of which Ryann despises for reasons close to her heart.

A visit to what lies within the branches of the controversial tree could give them both a whole new outlook on life...and on each other.

The author began this story as a submission to White Rose Publishing's "Heart's Crossing" contest. She never finished and submitted the piece, but eventually reworked it into this short story.

Wow! What a big punch wrapped in such a small package! The pain and heartache felt by both Ryann and Tim is amazing, and the way God uses it in each of their lives is awesome. (Talk about showing that "All things work together for good to them that love God...") I can't believe in these few pages that the lessons of forgiveness and not judging are both brought out in such fine detail. And oh yeah, she brought tears to my eyes once again. I loved it! Nice job, Ms. Latham!
