À propos de cet audio
In the early 1920s, the accelerating destruction of the California redwoods is more than nature-loving Marion Baker can bear. After throwing herself headlong into the work of the Save the Redwoods League, she meets the handsome Frank Duncan—only to find out he’s the son of one of the area’s worst timber barons. Though deeply disappointed, she realizes she could have an opportunity to convince him to rescue her favorite grove of trees from his father’s greedy grasp. But as she grows to love Frank, will she be able to persuade him?
Or will she have to choose between him and her conservation efforts?
Nearly fifty years later, in 1972, polio survivor June Turner is deeply proud of the legacy her great-aunt Marion has left as a redwood warrior. Despite her disability, June is determined to prove herself capable as a ranger at the recently established Redwood National Park, even if it means taking to the trails with her crutch in hand. What better way to carry on the family tradition of preserving God’s magnificent creation?
When aspiring film student Adam Garner asks June to help make a documentary about Marion’s life, she swiftly grabs the chance to spread her aunt’s worthy reputation. That is, until they unearth a secret that might shatter the family legacy. In the scramble for answers, June may lose not only her family pride but also her own dreams.
“Karen Barnett’s passion and admiration for nature shines in this wonderfully paced and deftly executed story. If you enjoy books that cause your spirit to soar as high as the redwood treetops, I highly recommend Where Trees Touch the Sky.”—Katie Powner, Christy Award winner and author of The Wind Blows in Sleeping Grass

Narrator: Susan Bennett (always a treat!)
This book had a beautiful emphasis on God's gift of nature. I learned a great deal about Redwood trees and the importance of preservation, even though it's something I had already believed in.
This novel is a split-time that goes between the early 1920s and 1972. It flows back and forth easily. Susan Bennett does a fantastic job of narrating each and every character. Barnett has a knack for vivid descriptions and well-defined characters. Marion and Frank are the main characters in the earlier timeline while June and Adam are in the 1972 timeline.
Marion is a staunch defender of preserving the Redwoods and Frank is the son of the lumber company wanting to profit. Things are pretty strained early on but they fall in love. Then a major event puts a whole new spin on everything.
June is a niece of Marion's by marriage. She strives to follow in the footsteps of her late uncle, her Aunt Marion, and her late brother by becoming a park ranger. Her gender and the damage left by polio are a sore issue with her. When she meets Adam, it doesn't go well. He has arrived to possibly take her job over due to questions about her handicap and ability to do the job. Late on the two strike a friendship and work together on a documentary to try and highlight the park, with a focus on her reluctant aunt. Their research uncovers question after question and June begins to wonder if her aunt isn't who she claims to be.
