Family Tree: A Novel | Susan Wiggs
#1 New York Times-bestselling author Susan Wiggs returns with a powerful, emotionally complex story of love and loss, heartbreak and healing, the pain of the past . . . and the promise of the future. Sometimes the greatest dream starts with the smallest element. A single cell, joining with another. And then dividing. And just like that, the world changes. Love. Success. A handsome husband, a beautiful home. These are the things Annie Rush can call her own. These are the foundations of her charmed life in Los Angeles. But in an instant, that life is shattered. And as Annie sifts through the ashes, she must face the shock and pain of a devastating loss. Grieving and wounded, she retreats to her family home in Switchback, Vermont, a maple farm generations old. There, surrounded by her free-spirited brother, their divorced mother, and four young nieces and nephews, Annie slowly emerges into a world she left behind years ago: the place where she grew up, the people she knew before, the hometown boyfriend whose life has been filled with unexpected turns. And with the discovery of a cookbook her grandmother wrote in the distant past, Annie unearths an age-old mystery that might prove the salvation of the family farm. Family Tree is the heartbreaking, heartwarming story of one womans struggle to make peace with her past and take control of her futurea story that celebrates family and love in their many forms. Clear-eyed and big-hearted, funny, sad, and wise, this is a novel to cherish and to remember.

Clwojick Only 1 star for The Pisces? It‘s been on my TBR for a while. What didn‘t you like about it? 5y
hes7 @Clwojick Mostly, I hated the main character. The story centers on her problematic approach to love and relationships (emphasized with an excess of ridiculous sex scenes), and she seemed to have very little growth from beginning to end. It just didn‘t work for me. 🤷🏼‍♀️ 5y

Love, success, life shattering accident, healing, grief, and family are all parts of this heartwarming story. It was a winner for me.

What a wonderfully complex book about a subject that is so difficult to understand, traumatic brain injuries. Having a family member with a TBI, I found this a very interesting read. Family Tree is also a beautiful love story and, it made me want apples and maple syrup LOL ? As you can see in the picture, our trees are just starting to turn?????♥️

Between my stop at the library and a stop at the bookstore, I had a pretty impressive book haul! (I can tell it is fall because I am like a squirrel gathering nuts for winter but in my case it's books!)

Have you read FAMILY TREE by Susan Wiggs yet? It's hard to imagine anything more delicious than the recipes in the book...until the Mineral Country Library in Superior, MT pulls out all the stops with this cake!

If you are a foodie and/or romance reader you will enjoy this sweet-but-not/cloyingly-so novel about the producer of a television cooking show, happy & successful until an accident changes everything. Waking from a yearlong coma, Annie is recovering at her family's Vermont maple farm & rebuilding her life. Enjoyable & full of delicious food mentions like the Salted Maple Popcorn I paired it with. Link to review/recipe in comments. #susanwiggs 📚🍴

Today's book mail for an August TLC Book Tour review. Books with a foodie slant (discovery of grandmother's cookbook) and that come with recipes (Cheddar Beer Soup & Frosted Maple Cookies) have a way of sneaking into my heart. ❤️🍴 I've not read Susan Wiggs before but I'm looking forward to this one! #bookmail #familytree @WilliamMorrow

The more I think about this book, the more I love it. I read it in manuscript, & I can‘t stop thinking about Annie Rush, her deft touch in the kitchen, & the way she found her heart buried in Vermont. It‘s the perfect kind of novel to curl up with when you need consolation. Also: #ilovermont!

SusanWiggs You get extra points for reading the manuscript. ✍🏽 8y
Tav Thanks @SusanWiggs (that's me on the couch!) 8y
