The Language of Sycamores
Lisa Wingate
Sometimes you have to take a trip off the map to discover where your own heart lives.
Karen Sommerfield has been hiding from the big questions of
her life—the emotional distance in her marriage, her
inability to have children, and her bout with cancer.
Getting lost in her high powered career provides the sense
of purpose she yearns for. Until the day she’s downsized
out of her job and the doctor tells her the cancer may be
back. It’s a double blow that would send anyone reeling. It sends Karen to Grandma Rose’s old farm, where her sister
has made a seemingly perfect life. Opening herself to the
unexpected, Karen finds a lonely child in need of nurturing
and insights into her family’s past. In the quiet of the
Missouri Ozarks, where the sycamore leaves whisper their
soft, secret language, she begins to discover answers… and
a joy to make her life complete...
