Praise for A Sound Among the Trees “In A Sound Among the Trees, author Meissner transports readers to another time and place to weave her lyrical tale of love, loss, forgiveness, and letting go. Her beautifully drawn characters are flawed yet likable, their courage and resilience echoing in the halls of Holly Oak for generations. A surprising conclusion and startling redemption make this book a page-turner, but the setting-the beautiful old Holly Oak and all of its ghosts-is what will seep into the reader’s bones, making A Sound Among the Trees a book you don’t want to put down.’ -Karen White, New York Times best-selling author of The Beach Trees “My eyes welled up more than once! And I thought it especially fitting that, having already shown us the shape of mercy in a previous novel, Susan Meissner is now showing us the many shapes of love. A Sound Among the Trees is a hauntingly lyrical book that will make you believe a house can indeed have a memory&and maybe a heart. A beautiful story of love, loss, and sacrifice, and of the bonds that connect us through time.� -Susanna Kearsley, New York Times best-selling author of The Winter Sea “I have a dozen things to do (like sleep!), but here I huddle through the night, turning pages, mesmerized by yet another Susan Meissner novel. How does Susan create characters that stay with me long after I close the book? How does she transport a reader so easily to a mansion in the South, in this century, bringing one family’s challenge of the Civil War to speak to contemporary times? How does she address the emotions and memories that hold us hostage with such grace? How do her turns of phrase bring tears unbidden to my eyes? I keep reading, knowing I’ll discover a fascinating story and hoping I’ll infuse some of the skill and craft that Susan weaves to make it. A Sound Among the Trees is one more exceptional novel from a world-class storyteller. Jodi Picoult, make room at the top.� -Jane Kirkpatrick, award-winning author of The Daughter’s Walk “ A Sound Among the Trees is another Meissner masterpiece filled with well-shaped characters, a compelling plot, and haunting questions: are our memories reliable enough to grow us, or do we cling to them as an excuse not to live? Meissner stunned me as she skillfully grappled with those mysteries. I left the book resolved to live joyfully in the sacredness of today.� -Mary DeMuth, author of The Muir House, Praise for A Sound Among the Trees "In A Sound Among the Trees, author Meissner transports readers to another time and place to weave her lyrical tale of love, loss, forgiveness, and letting go.

Synopsis
A house shrouded in time. A line of women with a heritage of loss. As a young bride, Susannah Page was rumored to be a Civil War spy for the North, a traitor to her Virginian roots. Her great-granddaughter Adelaide, the current matriarch of Holly Oak, doesn't believe that Susannah's ghost haunts the antebellum mansion looking for a pardon, but rather the house itself bears a grudge toward its tragic past. When Marielle Bishop marries into the family and is transplanted from the arid west to her husband's home, it isn't long before she is led to believe that the house she just settled into brings misfortune to the women who live there. With Adelaide's richly peppered superstitions and deep family roots at stake, Marielle must sort out the truth about Susannah Page and Holly Oak- and make peace with the sacrifices she has made for love., A house shrouded in time.

  • A sound among the trees was quite a let down.

    Let me first state that I have just recently , within the last 6 months, been introduced to Susan Meissners' books. I devoured "A fall of Marigolds" & "Secrets of a charmed life". Keeping that in mind I started to read "A sound among the trees". I felt that it really was not up to par with the other two books. The writing was different. I was three quarters of the way through the book when the story became interesting. Three quarters. Up to that point, I could not immerse myself into the story, I kept waiting for the pace to pick up. It never did to my satisfaction. The story was OK. The characters were hollow, not believable. I felt the letters in the book were written as if in a diary, beautifully penned some 135 years ago. But the present day characters were stiff, not animated. ...
