Some secrets bind two people together for life. The painful ones bind tightest of all.
When they were children, a battered boy used to walk two miles in the dark and climb the rose trellis to Savannah May Holladay's window — slipping inside to the one place he was safe, quiet as something with wings. She called him Birdy for the way he arrived, and she never called him anything else. For decades, through everything, they were each other's refuge.
But Savannah was raised to marry well — a debutante from one of Atlanta's wealthiest families — and a girl like that doesn't end up with the boy from the shack down the road. So she chose someone else. And Birdy, as he always had, stayed close enough to catch her if she fell.
Then she falls. And when Savannah wakes in a hospital bed, seven years are simply gone.
She doesn't remember marrying Birdy. She doesn't remember trading the mansion for a small, hard-won house. She doesn't remember the four children who call her Mama — not their birthdays, not their faces, not one. And she doesn't remember why a mind would choose to forget so much.
Desperate to reclaim the life she thinks she lost, Savannah goes searching for the missing years. But everyone who lived them is guarding something — Birdy most of all, whose silence feels less like cruelty than a wound he can't bring himself to reopen. And the closer she comes to the truth, the more she has to ask whether the life she's grieving was ever the one that loved her back.
The answer has been waiting all along, two miles down a country road — in a story written into the bark of twenty-one trees.
A deeply moving novel of memory, survival, and the quiet, stubborn kind of love that asks for nothing and never leaves. For readers of Kristin Hannah, Diane Chamberlain, and Nicholas Sparks who love stories of healing, hope, and hard-won second chances.

About the Author
Linda Cousine is a writer whose paternal grandmother lost all memory of her husband and four children shortly after the birth of their last child. For the next sixty years, she stayed locked inside her adolescent world and lived in mental institutions until the day she passed away.
Cousine’s heartfelt wish is that the memories her grandmother did have were of happier times.

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to ThriftBooks-Atlanta, Dallas, Texas, U.S.A., without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.

The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
