The Language of Sycamores (Tending Roses, Book 3) Review
Karen Sommerfield receives news that she is being laid off, despite years of loyalty and the fact that she helped build the company to what it is today. She also receives bad news that a cancer that she thought she would not see again has returned. Her doctor has asked her to make an appointment as soon as possible, as he thinks that the initial test results are pointing towards the return of this disease, but he is not one-hundred percent sure.
Karen has not been home since the death of Grandmother Rose two years ago. Going home brings back many happy memories of a woman Karen had loved. While at home dealing with the emotional drama taking place in her life, Karen also becomes involved in a summer camp program called JUMP KIDS. As Karen's her outlook on life changes, her heart opens and she learns to love again.
THE LANGUAGE OF SYCAMORES is a beautifully written story about a woman who finds herself needing direction in her life. This book about family and the ties that come with them is a novel to be cherished. The central plot of this novel may center around Karen, but it is the secondary characters and the love that shines from the pages that make this an emotional read. Learning about her history Karen finds the things her Grandma Rose did and said all come from a past that she knew nothing about. As she learns about her ancestors, her life takes on a new direction and she grows as a person.
Lisa Wingate is definitely a talented writer. As the third novel in a four book series, THE LANGUAGE OF SYCAMORES can definitely stand alone, but having read and become enthralled with Karen, and her family, this reviewer definitely will be seeking out the previous (TENDING ROSES, GOOD HOPE ROAD) and the fourth novel, DRENCHED IN LIGHT. Having previously been released in 2005, luckily for this reader, all four novels are on bookshelves everywhere.

The Language of Sycamores (Tending Roses, Book 3) Overview
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.

Customer Reviews
A Story with a Heart - Susan C. Ramsey - Wayne, New Jersey USA
I loved this book which is really a continuation of a series called Tending Roses-a series revolving around a very strong character Grandma Rose and her impact on the other members of her family. This book alone is a lovely read-particularly relevant today about rescuing those less fortunate.
If you are looking for a wonderful book, read this one! - Jaryn G. DiBenedetto - Auburn, AL USA
I would recommend reading Tending Roses first before reading because you will get more out of this book. I really enjoyed this book. Lisa Wingate does an excellent job at sending her message every time. Wingate's message is always the same-take a good, hard look at the choices you are making in your life and remember what is important-but never in a preachy or boring way. Every Wingate book sends this same message in a different way-I feel like that every book that I read by Wingate finds a home in every reader's heart. I think that everyone will hear a different message at different points in life reading each book. Think all of the Tending Roses books should be on MUST READ lists for anyone searching for "something more" from their life-something that most people do periodically in their lives. Highly recommend but don't count on being able to keep a dry eye!
Language of the Sycamores - Angie Thatcher - Tulsa, OK
Lovely, deeply moving novel that details the trials of a multi-generational family. One of my favorite authors, Wingate weaves a spell of grandmotherly wisdom, contemporary family issues, and an old family mystery. You also see resolution to a disadvantaged child finally finding a safe home after being in her first two novels of this series. Highly recommend.
great read - Amy D. Fairbanks - Indianapolis, IN
