Branches of Devotion With new book, 'The Healing Tree'

As F. Scott Fitzgerald once said, "There are all kinds of love in this world, but never the same love twice."

Whom and how we love in life is an important decision that inevitably affects each and every fragment of our lives.

In her new book, "The Healing Tree," author Ellen Jones shares the powerful love story between Lily and Jared. The young single woman and a man recently ordained to the Catholic priesthood, find choosing to love each other is easy, but searching for the path to God's love is a challenge.

Working to maneuver through their human frailties while embracing God's love, the couple uses past experiences to make the proper choice for a joyful and hope-filled future.

"Our love should reflect the personal commitment we have for the other, knowing that this love is a reflection of God's love for us," Jones said. "The puzzle of life is to find the path that can fill our hearts with love, not only for another person, but for God."

It is Jones' hope that "The Healing Tree" will represent the truth of God's presence while inspiring readers to harness the power of relearning life lessons through remembering.
