New Book by Susan Meissner! A Sound Among the Trees

Do you wish an ancestor had left a legacy for you to discover? Journaling is so valuable! Be it in scrapbooks with drawings, a photo album with names beneath the photos!, or letters left behind, truth is unveiled for us. Are we tied to the past, struggling, or freed by it? Susan Meissner's novel "A Sound Among the Trees" reveals choices made by generations living within stately Holly Oak.

Historical Fiction

A Sound Among the Trees is an intricately woven story of generations within Holly Oak, a southern manor home. Adelaide is an elderly grandmother who has mourned the passing of her granddaughter, Sara, and the absence of her daughter, Caroline, Sara's mother. Her widowed grandson-in-law, Carson, has brought his new bride, Marielle, to Holly Oak, his home with his two children and Adelaide.

Here is a book that is going to surprise you! It is not all as it seems. Chapter Twenty-Three: "Marielle eased her body down the wooden steps, her sodden sneakers turning brown with subterranean dirt and dust." I was upstairs reading, reading, reading with our 15-year-old cat snoozing on my lap, when I turned the page and read the above. Realizing this is going to be a longer night! I came downstairs to get a drink of water while my husband innocently is watching a football game. Intrigue!


There are five parts to this book: The Garden; The Parlor; The Studio; The Cellar; and Holly Oak. Each is vital in revealing a sound among the trees. This is the second book by this author that I have read, becoming newly acquainted with her historical fiction while reading "Lady in Waiting." I have thoroughly enjoyed the unexpected turn stumbled upon as if by accident, at the turning of each page. No preconceived notions here! For a fresh and appealing storyline, venture within and enjoy Susan Meissner's novels. I will be reading "A Sound Among the Trees" a second time! I don't want to miss any of it!


Besides eBooks and Print, this book is also available as an unabridged Audiobook download.

This book was sent to me free from WaterBrook Multnomah Publishing Group for my own opinion review.
