I don’t think I have ever enjoyed a story more than I have enjoyed "The Acorn Legacy.” It is historical fiction embracing the family history of the Alden family dating back 17 centuries as we move between past, present and the mythical. A family Oak tree is a central part of the story.

The Acorn Legacy checks all the boxes for me. I love family history and am the proud owner of a tree that has worked hard to survive in my yard for 40 years after being captured by my father as a sapling from under her parent tree on the farm that my Great Grandfather grew up on. The story embraces issues that I care deeply about, and provides food for thought on many levels. For recommendations I recommend this book to everyone. I don’t know anyone that would not find this story engaging for one reason or another. It would be a great book for book club discussions.

Thank you to Book Sirens and the author, Paul Lima, for the opportunity of having an advance release copy of this book to be able to review. This is definitely a 5 star read.
