Harry's Trees by Jon Cohen


Title: Harry's Trees
Author: Jon Cohen
Genre: Magical Realism, Fantasy

When Harry's wife dies in a sudden accident, he is heartbroken. He is stuck in an unrewarding job and has always dreamed of working outside with trees. In his grief he tries to escape from all the pressures of his job and his money-hungry brother by commiting suicide in a nearby forest. Little does he know that he will be found by a young girl moments after his plan fails, and that she will interpret his arrival in her life as a fantastical sign from her father who recently died unexpectedly. What follows is a story of how friendship can be found in unlikely ways and redemption in doing things that you love. A heartwarming and uplifting read.
