Knock on Wood

First love often breaks hearts, but deep in the woods, it magically makes one beat. When a boy runs away from his cruel father and into the forest, a lonely tree feels her first stirring. A grove of golden larches is a perfect refuge, unless you're a 200-year-old larch tree who finds herself, for the first time, falling in love. Edward, the son of a bitter logger, returns to the grove over the years, first as a defiant teenager, then grown into a handsome, but troubled young man. The tree waits for him through each long winter, her heartwood and bark slowly turning to blood and bone, until the day when Edward's destiny, at last, catches up to him . . . and he enters the woods with a saw. With her first, tentative step, the erstwhile larch must not only stop the man she loves from cutting down her forest, but also decide which world she truly belongs in.
