Synopsis:
The Memory Trees is a dark magical realism novel about a
mysterious family legacy, a centuries-old feud, and a tragic loss that
resurfaces when sixteen-year-old Sorrow returns to her mother’s family orchard
for the summer.
Sorrow Lovegood’s life has been shaped by the stories of the
women who came before her: brave, resilient women who settled long ago on a
mercurial apple orchard in Vermont. The land has been passed down through
generations, and Sorrow and her family take pride in its strange history. Their
offbeat habits may be ridiculed by other townspeople—especially their
neighbors, the Abrams family—but for the first eight years of her life, the
orchard is Sorrow’s whole world.
Then one winter night everything changes. Sorrow’s sister Patience
is tragically killed. Their mother suffers a mental breakdown. Sorrow is sent
to live with her dad in Miami, away from the only home she’s ever known.
Now sixteen, Sorrow’s memories of her life in Vermont are
maddeningly hazy; even the details of her sister’s death are unclear. She
returns to the orchard for the summer, determined to learn ore about her
troubled childhood and the family she left eight years ago. Why has her mother
kept her distance over the years? What actually happened the night Patience
died? Is the orchard trying to tell her something, or is she just imagining
things?
