The year is 1960, and young Georgia Mae Clements is dismayed to be moving with her parents from their home in Macon, Georgia to operate a peanut farm in Lennington, South Carolina. When she meets her new neighbor, however, her world is forever altered. Grady O'Neal's family has lived in a small, dilapidated house on their humble O'Neal Family Peanut Farm for generations. The arrival of fiery Georgia Mae next door opens his eyes to a future he never imagined. Amid the tumultuous 1960s, Georgia Mae and Grady find that the normal challenges of growing up are intensified by the looming Vietnam War. As their friendship blossoms into romance, the prospect of the draft inspires them to join other rebellious youth in protesting the war. When circumstances pull them apart, both Georgia Mae and Grady must learn to fight, albeit different kinds of battles.

Angel Oak is estimated to be more than 400 years old. The story of the live oak begins with the "purchase" of Johns Island from the Cussoe Indians by a representative of Sir Anthony Ashley Cooper in 1675. The land upon which the tree grows was then granted to Abraham Waight in 1717. The oak garnered its name when descendant Martha Waight married Justus Angel. This same family maintained ownership of the property for 242 years. Today, the Angel Oak is owned by the City of Charleston. Authors Ruth M. Miller and Linda Lennon describe life on Johns Island through 300 years and the special place the tree has held in the hearts of Lowcountry residents. A foreword was provided by Becky Woods, communications manager for the Lowcountry Land Trust.

Turbulent winds from an approaching tropical storm snatch an acorn from the safety of an oak tree and deposit it on the shore during the night. The acorn risks being washed away into the ocean or being eaten by a seagull before it’s rescued by Hatokwassi, a Kiawah Indian. She tucks the acorn safely away in her pouch, carries it back to her village, and lovingly plants it in her garden. Hatokwassi imagines it as a gift for her village, praying for the branches to shade the garden, the boughs to provide a playground for the children, and the seeds to offer food for the squirrels. A picture book for children, One Acorn’s Journey narrates the story of the Angel Oak, the oldest living oak tree in the United States located in Charleston, South Carolina.

When darkness branches to the soul of a family, light arrives in the form of a strange girl from the backwoods. Tree sprite Scarlet Oak exists as an outlier in her forested society. Wingless since she was very young, she imagines deeper things, longing to know more than a warm bond with her birth oak. Then, one Thanksgiving night, humanness wanders into her realm when an autistic boy hangs himself from her oak tree. Heartbroken, Scarlet trails the boy's father and the rescue workers out of the woods. As the father stands alone and grief-stricken on a dirt road near his beat-up blue truck, Scarlet approaches, offering him a crimson leaf. By doing so, she trades her oak roots for human ones and her forest for farmland in a quest to unearth the tragic secret that led to the boy's death. But soon Scarlet falls for a complex youth named Warren. And if she gives in to this new kind of love, it will strip away her magic, and she can never truly return to her oak or nature's wild. Scarlet Oak is a soulful exploration of our fragile ties with nature, community, and loved ones. It poignantly grapples with how we move through loss to find meaning and connection.

Highly recommend!" -Nicole Bedinghaus "The way Julie words things has changed my life in a way that no other spiritual work or religious upbringing has done for me in the past.

After reading this book, I reached a much deeper level of understanding of angels and how to connect with them. I feel empowered knowing I have all the tools I need to connect with my angels. I can't recommend this book enough!" -Michelle Willis
