The Language of Sycamores

By: Lisa Wingate

Narrated by: Erin Spencer

Karen Sommerfield has been hiding from life-immersing herself in a high-powered job-until the day the company downsizes her out of a job and the doctor tells her that she may have cancer. It's a double blow that sends Karen on a search for herself in the last place she ever thought to look: Grandma Rose's old farm.

As Karen's hectic schedule falls away, she opens up to the unexpected. In the quiet of the Missouri Ozarks, she hears the soft, secret language of the sycamore trees, and discovers answers and a joy to make her life complete.

A non stop read

Again Lisa Wingate has outdone herself. It is a wonderful read. Now going to listen to another one of her books. Thanks

Loved it

This series by Lisa win gate is wonderful and uplifting. Such a good read! I appreciate an interesting storyline that covers grief and pain but isn’t dominated by it.

A beautiful reminder of the true value of life

I loved this book, but if you didnt read tending roses first go back and do that ine first. while i personally loved this book more it does set some things up and a little different perspective on the words that really have deep meaning in this book. its a beautiful story of finding yourself again and how to find your way back to the true and basic purpose of relationships. i found myself reflecting how my life might seem like Karen's or if my life or choices have put me in a similar emotional situation. i recommend this book if you are ready to take an emotional journey about the meaning of life and relationships.

Nostalgic story line!

Absolutely loved this book. it was reminiscent and a heartwarming story of love, family and tragedy. Highly recommend. The narrator was fantastic and the Author reals you in immediately.

Beautifully woven

I loved the way this book wove together the stories of the first two books in the series.
