In the front yard of the Greenson home is what is commonly known as “The Family Tree,” under which major decisions and conversations are routinely made; as such, the tree holds a special significance in the eyes of twelve-year-old Callie, a precocious pre-teen with a seasoned wisdom beyond her years. While sitting under the tree one evening, though, Callie overhears her parents engaged in a quite shocking conversation, from which she soon learns disturbing truths about her family’s history – ultimately thrusting all senses of peace and security that she previously had in serious doubt...

Throughout the pages of If The Tree Could Talk, author Karen Brown presents the reader with a twisted, compelling tale of lust, love, deceit, and hidden secrets drawn straight from the pages of everyday life. Through the eyes of her endearing protagonist, Brown paints a vivid picture of humanity at its best and worst, as well as the often unintended ramifications that follow some of our most fateful decisions. No matter how dark the times we may encounter, though, the light of redemption still shines, and Brown does an effective job of conveying the promise and hope that await us as a result of confronting our deepest fears.

With a solid central storyline and intriguing cast of characters, If The Tree Could Talk is a promising debut effort from an emerging new literary talent.
