The Spoon Tree: A Story of Two Families
This novel is written in five parts and told by Abby and Laura Clove, and Meg Riley. It was originally published as a series in four volumes.
About the Spoon Trees...
There’s a place where hundreds of spoons hang from two large trees.
Each spoon is tied to a branch by a colorful ribbon. Some of the spoons touch and create their own music and dance. Other spoons do a solo as they dangle and shine and add shadows and lights, to remind us why they are there.
Each spoon on The Spoon Tree was put there for a reason. And each one has its very own story.
About the two families...
This is a story of love and second chances. Of family and loyalty, and about choosing happiness as a guiding light.
This novel is a work of fiction, but the characters in this story are very real. Two families come together by chance, but their union makes perfect sense. The people in this novel love life, family, and they really enjoy having fun. They joke and banter, but when it comes to what's important, they don’t play silly games. They are mature and sensitive, and they recognize a true gift when it presents itself as something that must be cared for and cherished for life.
About each story...

Tom and Abby’s About finding love when you’re not looking for it, but knowing it's not something that should be ignored.

About the author
Bria Daly
16 books44 followersBria is a mom, a wife, a sister, a daughter, a friend and an author. She creates strong characters with flaws to make them credible, and does so, because there's no such thing as a perfect body, brain, hair, or personality.
Humor, poking fun, banter, and quick witted dialogue make her characters all the more relatable and help create stories that are heartwarming, funny, sometimes wholesome, and plenty sassy.
Family is most important to Bria. She's been married to the same man for over 30 years, and claims to have the two best kids in the entire world - it's best not to argue with her about that (it can get ugly!).
She has two sisters, loves animals, is a vegan and has always been a great supporter of worthy causes.
Married to a military man, she's lived in Japan, Germany, Argentina, Brazil, Honduras, and seven U.S. states. She tells us that in her first 3 years of marriage she had to move 9 times!
