Woven with magical realism and Native American folklore, THE LANGUAGE OF TREES is a constellation of love stories set on Canandaigua Lake, the birthplace of the Seneca nation of Indians. At the center of the story is Echo O'Connell, who returns home to care for her ailing father and reunites with her childhood love, Grant Shongo, a Seneca man running from a long-hidden secret. After the break-up of his marriage Grant has moved back into his childhood cabin where he is taken up by the spirit of a little boy who was lost in the lake years before. Together, Grant and Echo embark on a search for the boy's missing teenage sister and put to rest the mysteries of the past. THE LANGUAGE OF TREES will make you believe that hands can heal, that the spirits of those we love watch over us, and that if you can forgive yourself your mistakes, the world will return to you all of your forgotten dreams.
