The old oak tree behind the house is missing, confusing family-oriented Bethany Moore when she returns to Clearview to look after her grandmother who's recently suffered a stroke. Reverend David Hadaway makes no apologies for having cut down the tree because it was threatening the foundation of the house he bought from Bethany's grandmother.      Bethany's world has been shaken to its core as she discovers how her perception of things has led her to a false sense of what life is all about. With David's patience and steadfast commitment to always doing the right thing, she realizes what's really important. It takes being forced to make a major, life-altering decision for her to act on her heart's desires.
