Rings of a Tree — Carolyn Arnold

Follow the generations of a family through their celebrations and their trials, as told through the “eyes” of an oak tree. Rejoice in them over love and new life, and mourn with them over loss and the struggle against cancer.



Rings of a Tree draws a poetic correlation between the changing seasons and the stages of our lives.

AUTHOR'S NOTE:

Rings of a Tree, is a story written outside of my typical genre. It was created through my poetic observations of life, and is told in an omniscient point of view through the “eyes” of an oak tree.
