He would make her whole again
Leaving behind a disastrous marriage, Andy Calhoun moves to the small town of Pemberton, Georgia, "in search of banality." What she discovers, though, is not serenity, but Tom Dabney, a passionate and magical man.
An exuberant poet who worships the wilderness surrounding Pemberton, Tom is everything Andy doesn't need in her life right now. But despite warnings from friends, Andy is soon deeply immersed in Tom's life and his world...a world he will do anything to protect. When Tom declares war on the enemy poisoning his woods, it becomes clear that Andy must choose between her life with Tom and the one she left behind...if Pemberton society will take her back.

- Re-read it once a year
- This book is magic; I re-read it at least once a year.

But I guess the story had to play out like it did. I would have liked to have found… More reviews
- Good start, but tanks at the end...
- When I first started reading King's Oak by Anne Rivers Siddons, I thought it had the potential to be one of her best books. Unfortunately for Siddons (and her readers), this book tanks at the end.
King's Oak takes place in the fictional town of Pemberton, Georgia. Although considered the Newport of the South, Pemberton's real treasures are the forests,… More reviews
- DIFFERENT BUT WONDERFUL
- For those who have read books written by Anne Rivers Siddons, this story may seem a bit different. Well, it is. And a wonderful form of different it is! I own it in hardcover, it's the only book format I even consider, and one of my all time favorites. My home library is filled with stories by many authors with many different styles of writing and… More reviews
