It's always refreshing when we can take a step back from the intensity of today's fiction and instead take a look into real life. Real people. Real love. Real heartache. Arnold does this beautifully in this lovely short story.Don't get me wrong, this is still fiction. But the generational tale she weaves is so true, so honest, that anyone can relate to it and feel compassion for the characters as they go through the trials and successes of life. We only get a sneak peek into their experiences, as we see them through the eyes of an eternal oak tree, but it is no less impactful.I'm a big fan of Arnold's writing style, and this disarmingly honest short story did not disappoint.
