Lizzie and Avi had been dating for almost four months and he was finally taking Lizzie up to meet the trees he'd grown up with before finally taking her up to meet his mother. Will her nerves win over her excitement or will she get lost in her own worries and concerns over meeting his mother. Would she be able to get out of her head and enjoy the time spent with the man that had become the major part of her world, if not the center of it, in four short months? Avi was excited to be taking Lizzie up to meet the trees but he was far from excited about staying in a place filled with so many other memories of past relationships and failings. Will he have the strength to make the new memories with the woman he loves or will his past crush their growing love before it truly gets off the ground? Will the people there allow him to let go of his past and begin anew? In The Sequoias Avi's past confronts his present as he takes the love of his life to a place where his history is known not only to him but to the locals too. When the visit is done will he still have a future in Lizzie?
