Product Description
From the Inside Flap
After his rodeo accident, Truman James was just going home to his grandmother¹s farmhouse to stay a few weeks while his broken leg healed. He surely didn¹t expect to be awakened the first morning he was there by a snaggle-toothed kid and his sassy Irish mother, who¹d moved right into the house with him.
Allie McCleary wouldn¹t have ever consented to move to Dougherty, Oklahoma, if she¹d known Truman had the freedom to use the house, too. And she sure didn¹t expect Truman James to be the magic she¹d been searching for since her husband was killed five years before.
The rest is what happens when you cross a handsome-beyond-words bull rider with a mostly-Irish lass with a temper to match her rich chestnut brown hair and mossy green eyes. It¹s the story of an old ivy covered elm tree in the corner of the yard, sitting in dormancy like Allie¹s heart and rooted deep in the rich ranch soil, like Truman¹s soul.
Will they realize that the real fight lies within their hearts? Although they¹re as mismatched as oil and water, they have fallen in love. Can either of them admit it?

Seasons of "The Ivy Tree" paint a lasting picture, Aug 28 2002
By "leshaniece" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Ivy Tree (Hardcover)
"The Ivy Tree" is personally my favorite of Carolyn Brown's Avalon Books. Allie's portraits of the ivy tree show the changing seasons of her heart and life. Her love for Truman begins ny barely taking root and eventually with time grows into a lasting love that will stand strong throughout the tests of time. I highly recommend curling up with this book or any of Brown's romances or historical romances.

The Ivy Tree, Aug 27 2002
By Lisa - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Ivy Tree (Hardcover)
This is a heartwarming story that you can't put down once you get started reading it. It has all the fun elements that get you wanting to turn each page from the beginning with a small child that will win your heart, even to a dog, that you know will want you to get Truman and Allie together before the story is over with. The funny things that children come up with in the conversations with adults makes the book a must read. Truman and Allie were two people lost in an almost different world that needed to find each other and be together. I enjoyed the part about the sharing of the cooking chores. And the part where Truman got hurt and had to be rushed to the hospital with Allie by his side in the ambulance tore into my heart. This is a great, great book. Again, ten stars plus and two thumbs, with ten toes to heaven. This book is heartwarming, and one that you will want to read!!!!
