Author Description

When young Oliver Logan tragically loses his mom, he moves into the home of his aunt and uncle. Although he is lovingly welcomed by his new family, Oliver discovers a special feeling of peace and solace whenever he climbs into the embracing branches of a large and ancient sycamore tree, which grows beside the family garage. Oliver adjusts to life in his new home and makes friends at school, but he continuously finds himself seeking the comfort of his special seat high up in the spreading branches of that old sycamore. It is during these times that Oliver gradually and unwittingly becomes familiar with long past events that occurred in the very neighborhood in which he now lives, and his newfound knowledge comes from a very surprising and unexpected source.
