The impressive Ghosthead Oak has stood watch over coastal Alabama’s inexplicable backwater bays and slow-running streams, where bull alligators rumble the nerves of lesser creatures and every living thing can kill, for 500 years. Some say the fabled giant tree was once a knee-high seedling brushed by the dark-colored boot of Spanish conquistador Hernando Cortez. No other tree along the whole coastal crescent from New Orleans to Apalachicola can rival its majesty or its capacity to draw visitors to it.
In silence and with dignity, the Ghosthead has served as sentinel to the widow’s family land for countless generations. It was a childhood friend and a heart guide in troubled times. Her dad is buried in its hue.
So why would the widow head into a biker pub and hire a guy to fire his chainsaw and inflict fatal gashes around its trunk, closing in a minute what got five centuries to generate?
The Widow and the Tree is an account of dark deeds committed with mercy at heart, provoking the audience to ask: Would I have done the same thing? This book is based on a true report.
