Tree Rings Richard Meibers On the morning of his youngest son’s high school graduation, Clement Scheutz, former mercenary soldier turned logger, wakes to find his girl friend in his bed, and his former wife’s voice still buzzing in his head. Tree Rings takes place in a single luminous day in the life of a man who has survived many losses, a day that encompasses a lifetime of emotions, memories, and revelations. But just as the past continues to haunt, it also heals, and Scheutz’s archetypal inward journey comes full circle to awaken him to new possibilities in the present.  “Poignant and gripping. With style and insight evocative of Anita Shreve, Tree Rings brings to life a man who hears — and better yet, actually listens to — the voice of his ex-wife as he raises two sons” — Kim Scott, Author of ON THE BUS “This intense, emotional depiction of parental love brings to mind Michael Cunningham’s THE HOURS. Meibers takes his readers deep into his hero’s psyche, dashes stereotypical views of mothers and fathers, wives and husbands.” — Jeremy Townsend, J.N.
