The Oak Tree Jodi Lapalm

"This author gets into the head and heart of the characters-and you'll want to keep reading!" [Amazon Reviewer] THE OAK TREE follows one woman's struggle to rebuild her world after a courageous battle with illness and separation from a selfish husband. It is a romantic tale of strength and hope and celebration, with many experiences drawn from the author's own life. Andie Preston is living on her own terms. Without her well-established husband or his powerful family connections. Without the familiar landscape of her hometown and reliable support from people close to her. Without a dark cloud of illness looming over her raven-haired head. Intent on shedding a past filled with lies, fear, and heartache, she relocates to the South Carolina coast. And with a new career, her own home, and a second chance to do everything right, Andie soon realizes each painful step toward freedom carries her closer to the life she fought to preserve and a love once believed impossible.
