Synopsis

Grace Ferguson comes to the alarming realization that her life's about to end after a doctor diagnoses an inoperable brain tumor. As the effects of the tumor grow, she decides that maybe death needs a little help in coming.

Setting out on her final journey, she lays to rest a lifetime of experiences. Her past takes root in her mind as her relationships with her philandering father, supportive partner David, and best friends branch out in her thoughts.

Sixteen-year-old Grace discovers sex under a large oak tree. Young adult Grace grieves the loss of a lover. She discovers the big city. A family emergency sets her packing for home…

How does each leaf of our lives help us grow? How do they join together to shape the landscape of who we are?

Canadian author Deborah Dunleavy explores the honesty of relationships in The Truth About Trees, a chick-lit novel that connects to the controversial concept of taking one's life while also pondering the romantic, tragic, and lighthearted moments of being alive.

Whether you are just beginning to experience adulthood and family, surviving a serious illness, or taking stock of your own life as you mature, Dunleavy's novel tugs at your heart.
