"You can never outtalk the listening ear of a tree." - Nicole Deese
If only every town could harbor a "kissing tree" all its own; a living memorial of community . . . with hopes and dreams spread wide towards the warmth of the sun and the strength of its forefathers burrowing deeply underneath the soil as its root system, built to withstand the strongest of winds and the fiercest of storms. Oak Springs, Texas has such a tree and this sweet collection of stories traces its life, notoriety and eventual legacy.
"Our town can learn a lot from from the heartwood inside this beautiful old oak. Because its legacy is here - in this town, and in each other. It has lived a life we can be proud of, one of strength and purpose, one that continues, even now, to bring friends and families together . . . . It's our turn to do the same." - Nicole Deese, "Heartwood"
