Under the Memory Tree
Author Tim Callahan has again written a truly moving story that will draw you in to a man you never realized you wanted to know. But you will. In "Under the Memory Tree" 84-year-old widow, Joseph Franklin Smith, has lost both his wife of 60 plus years and his best friend since the fourth grade to co-vid. Now his time is mostly spent collecting, watching sports and fishing on the banks of the Kentucky River. During his fishing trips he sits under the same tree with his elderly dog, Elk, and naps during his time there. His naps take him back in time to his life's events and memories. Both sad and happy times.
On one Saturday in September, a 14-year-old-boy begins fishing near him and they begin talking and over time develop a relationship. His granddaughter then decides to move in with her Gramps since she's taken a job nearby. Little did Frank know how the kid and his granddaughter, Veronica, would change his life. The book will appeal to most readers of fiction. The book is filled with emotion and humor.
