The Tallest Timbers

by Dana Thomas Weber

Overview

Is the simple life that simple? Lacey Williams is a driven and disciplined Annapolis real estate agent who has worked tirelessly creating a successful life from scratch. It is a life she has become disenchanted with. Yearning for a simpler way of life, she follows her heart and less-practical intuitions for the first time to seek out her version of a fulfilling life. There is no turning back once she sells her home, walks away from her career and moves to a rustic cabin in upstate New York. Eerie nights in the mountains, modest living quarters, harsh winters, and repeated sightings of an apparition in the woods become the least of her concerns when a river guide with a past crosses her path. Things are not always what they seem, however, and her strength and independent spirit fosters a new drive. Lacey Williams is focused more than ever on discovering her true self while carving out the life she was meant to live.

Editorial Reviews

Dana Thomas Weber creates a timely portrait of "the American dream." Heroine Lacey Williams blindly accepts that ideal with all of the trappings, the right car, the right clothes, a posh address, yet is sadly unfulfilled. Dana takes us on a wonderful journey with Lacey, as she seeks authenticity in her life and creates a new American utopia for herself...this time, dreaming with her eyes wide open.”

Eagerly awaiting book #2!

This was just the story I needed, at the right time, to remind me what life is all about. A great perspective. This book brightened my summer. A delightful read.

“Weber's first novel is delightful. She not only keeps the readers interest by creating a story rich in characters and scenery, but allows the reader to wonder "what if." By following Lacey on her journey to self-fulfillment, the reader cannot help but wonder how she can make her own life better, richer, and happier. With each turn of the page I was able to not only root for Lacey, but for myself and my future. As a career woman and mother, I am always striving to live the best life possible. In a society where money and ownership of stuff is valued, it can be easy to lose ones true self. The Tallest Timbers gave me permission to value the things I want most in life and urged me to make a plan. Do yourself a favor and take time to read this novel and start to dream about what could be.”
