The True by Amanda Marks

Description

Lives in a remote Northumbrian valley are separated by centuries but woven together in the heart of the trees.

Coquetdale, Northumberland.

1725. After the final tragedy of an age-old feud, Sam’s mother disappears. His guilt-ridden search brings unexpected adventure and romance. As a fellow of the secret order of ‘The True’, Sam learns to enhance his affinity with nature, and enigmatic links across time are revealed to him in ancient woodlands.

2000. Isolated hill-farmer, Kate, is cautiously attracted to an intriguing stranger brought to her door by endearing runaway, Joe. The man is certainly odd, but not as creepy as her ‘stalker’. Further down the dale, Kate’s woodsman cousin, Nick, falls in love with a mysterious young woman who arrives with spring and disappears as summer ends.

Middle Wood links these seemingly disparate lives separated by centuries, but is that their only connection? Does the answer lie with The True?
