My Review
 

This book has four short novella's by four different authors, but all focused on mighty old oak tree, and celebrating the love matches through the century.
Four different time periods, four main couples, and four authors.
We meet four different couples whose lives are touched but this tree, and the time period goes from 1871 to present time.
Each author gives a different couple, different circumstances, and yet the tree plays a part in each of the stories.
Come and journey with this tree as it withstands time, right to the end! You will soon be lost in each period of time!

I received this book through Net Galley and the Publisher Bethany House, and was not required to give a positive review.
