I’m Giving This Book To Everyone I Know. Because It, Like Its Subject, Is A Gift.”—Elizabeth Gilbert, Author Of Eat Pray LoveWhen Amy Stewart Discovered A Community Of Tree Collectors, She Expected To Meet Horticultural Fanatics Driven To Plant Every Species Of Oak Or Maple. But She Also Discovered That The Urge To Collect Trees Springs From Something Deeper And More Profound: A Longing For Community, A Vision For The Future, Or A Path To Healing And Reconciliation.
