The Memory Trees Audiobook (Free)

A darkly magical novel about a mysterious family legacy, the bonds of sisterhood, as well as the strange and powerful ways we are shaped from the areas we call house, from the critically acclaimed author of Shallow Graves.

For the first eight many years of her life, an unusual apple orchard in Vermont is Sorrow Lovegood’s whole world. The land has been passed down through years of brave, resilient women, and while their offbeat practices could be ridiculed by other townspeople-especially about The Memory Trees their neighbors, the Abrams family-Sorrow and her family members take satisfaction in its odd history.

Then one winter evening, an unthinkable tragedy adjustments everything. In the aftermath, Sorrow is sent to Miami to live with her dad, away from the only house she’s ever known.

Now 16, Sorrow’s remembrances of her life in Vermont are maddeningly hazy. She comes back to the orchard for the summer, determined to learn more about her stressed childhood as well as the family members she remaining eight years back. But it shortly becomes obvious that some of her questions possess difficult-even dangerous-answers. And there could be a price to pay for asking.
