Story
Widowed Samantha Arias hasn’t spoken to Holly Dunfee in forever. It’s for the best. Samantha prefers to avoid conflict. The blisteringly honest Holly craves it. What they still have in common puts them both back on speed dial: a mutual love for Katie, their best friend of twenty-five years, now hospitalized with cancer and needing one little errand from her old college roomies. It’s simple: travel cross-country together, steal her loathsome ex-husband’s VW camper, find Katie’s diabetic Great Pyrenees at a Utah pound, and drive him back home to Wisconsin.

Publisher's Summary
A young artist forges a path of self-discovery in an enriching novel about forgiving the past and embracing second chances, from the bestselling author of An Unfinished Story.
Maine, 1969. After losing her parents in a car accident, aspiring artist Annalisa Mancuso lives with her grandmother and their large Italian family in the stifling factory town of Payton Mills. Inspired by her mother, whose own artistic dreams disappeared in a damaged marriage, Annalisa is dedicated only to painting. Closed off to love, and driven as much by her innate talent as she is the disillusionment of her past, Annalisa just wants to come into her own.
The first step is leaving Payton Mills and everything it represents. The next, the inspiring opportunities in the city of Portland and a thriving New England art scene where Annalisa hopes to find her voice. But she meets Thomas, an Ivy League student whose attentions - and troubled family - upend her pursuits in ways she never imagined possible. As their relationship deepens, Annalisa must balance her dreams against an unexpected love. Until the unraveling of an unforgivable lie.
For Annalisa, opening herself up to life and to love is a risk. It might also be the chance she needs to finally become the person and the artist she’s meant to be.
Critic Reviews
“Walker’s (An Unfinished Story) beautifully written coming-of-age novel is set during the Vietnam War…Ideal for book groups and for readers who enjoyed Taylor Jenkins Reid’s Daisy Jones & the Six, Susan Elizabeth Phillips’s Dance Away with Me, or Nicholas Sparks’s novels.”—Publishers Weekly (starred review)
“A heartwarming read.”—Historical Novel Society
“The Singing Trees is a beautifully crafted coming-of-age story set in working class Maine during the seventies, a time of intense turmoil and transformation in America. It is a heartfelt, complex tale of chasing your dreams without forsaking your roots, and I was swept away by Boo Walker’s deft storytelling and incredibly complex characters. Soulful but also full of sharp dialog and humor, The Singing Trees is exactly the sort of book you get lost in then mourn when it is over.”—Suzanne Redfearn, #1 Amazon bestselling author of In an Instant

Wanted to puke for the last 1/4 of the book
I was thoroughly addicted to this book…until its narrative became so repetitious and so cringeworthy in the last quarter. And then it ended in a completely predictable way. If you love Hallmark movies, this is right up your alley.

The author captured many aspects of my life in the late 60’s to early 70’s. Reading it was a very introspective, emotional return to life in that era.
I was very moved and would highly recommend this book.

This a beautiful story with excellent, layered characters! I loved living the life of his main character Annalisa & seeing the world through her eyes. I’m constantly in awe of Boo Walker’s ability to write these amazing female characters - it’s a true gift! Thank you Boo for showing us that vulnerability & strength can coexist & drive us to do great things with our lives.

So-so
This novel had a compelling (if uneven) story line and interesting characters; however, it lacked much needed editing. There were so many cliches and quasi-motivational lines attributed to the protagonist, it became annoying to listen to; especially as they were accompanied by endless whining. Main parts of plot were underdeveloped while others were painfully drawn out. Despite the drawbacks, story kept my interest, even though I did a lot of eye rolling along the way.
