It's 2008 and Liam Greenwood is a carpenter, sprawled on his back after a workplace fall and facing the possibility of his own death. It's 1974 and Willow Greenwood is just out of jail for one of her environmental protests: attempts at atonement for the sins of her father's once vast and rapacious timber empire. It's 1934 and Everett Greenwood is a Depression-era drifter who saves an abandoned infant, only to find himself tangled up in the web of a crime, secrets, and betrayal that will cling to his family for decades. And throughout, there are trees: a steady, silent pulse thrumming beneath Christie's effortless sentences, working as a guiding metaphor for withering, weathering, and survival.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTransporting, beautifully written, and brilliantly structured like the nested growth rings of a tree, \u003ci\u003eGreenwood \u003c\/i\u003ereveals the knot of lies, omissions, and half-truths that exists at the root of every family's origin story. It is a magnificent novel of greed, sacrifice, love, and the ties that bind--and the hopeful, impossible task of growing toward the light.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePaperback | 512 pages | 5.19\" x 8.00\"\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Michael Christie","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44264473329896,"sku":"9780771024481x","price":24.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0386\/5896\/5549\/products\/BNCImageAPI_0134c739-fe13-4017-a6db-c9d2569a765c.jpg?v=1675187152","url":"https:\/\/typebooks.live\/products\/greenwood","provider":"TYPE Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
