Under the Old Oak Tree
(Summary)
Talia Greene is a young, single woman who grew up as an only child with two working parents that rarely had time for her. She was often left in the care of her quirky grandmother Amelia and developed a love for reading.
She was sent away to a boarding school in New York City for her high school years. After she graduated, she quickly found a job at a small bookstore and her own small apartment.
Talia dreams of having the exciting lifestyles of the characters in the adventure books that she reads.
One day, at the age of 23, she gets a call from her mother, telling her that she needs to return immediately to her childhood home in Fulton, NY, because her grandmother Amelia passed away.
Talia and her parents learn that Amelia left her house and everything in it to Talia, while her parents were given the $20,000 that was left in her bank account.
Talia travels to Amelia's house in Sodus Pt, NY; the strange but familiar place from her childhood.
She soon learns that the seemingly far fetched stories she was told as a child are very true and things are not always as they seem, proving that even the simplest of people can lead extraordinary lives.
