Synopsis "The Tree Called Arthur"

In the spring of 2026, a surveyor sprays an orange ring around the trunk of an old pecan tree on Wren Lane. The tree knows what the ring means. He has seen it before.His name is Arthur. A crow carried him up from the river bottoms as a nut in 1925 and buried him in a flower bed on Crowley's Ridge, Arkansas. A two-year-old girl named him after her teddy bear and refused to let anyone dig him up. For a hundred years he has stood in one family's garden, listening.He has sheltered children through a great flood and heard a war begin on the kitchen radio. He watched a father come home on a cane and a young soldier walk home up the back road. He has felt a proposal on the bench at his feet, a baby's first steps toward his trunk, and the quiet that follows every goodbye. Four generations have told him what they could tell no one else.Now the town has grown up to his fence, the land has been sold, and the new entrance road runs straight through him. As the girl's granddaughter fights to save him, Arthur tells his story, from the forest he lost to the family he found.A warm, wise and quietly funny novel about belonging, memory, and the gentle giants who shade our lives without asking anything in return.
