Annie Rush knows how lucky she is. The producer of a popular television cooking show, she loves her handsome husband and the beautiful Los Angeles home they share. And now, she's pregnant with their first child. But in an instant, her life is shattered. And when Annie awakes from a yearlong coma, she discovers that time isn't the only thing she's lost. Grieving and wounded, Annie retreats to her old family home in Switchback, Vermont, a maple farm generations old. There, surrounded by her free-spirited brother, their divorced mother, and four young nieces and nephews, Annie slowly emerges into a world she left behind years ago: the town where she grew up, the people she knew before, the high-school boyfriend turned judge. And with the discovery of a cookbook her grandmother wrote in the distant past, Annie unearths an age-old mystery that might prove the salvation of the family farm.

I enjoyed this book! I especially loved the advice from Gran and all the cooking references. It made me want to play in the kitchen!
Family Tree is a lighter, girlier book than I usually go for, but I'm glad I picked this one up! There were a lot of feelings and relationships that were deep and well developed, and I really fell in love with the main character and wanted her to succeed.
The story is about Annie, a producer of a popular cooking show in Los Angeles, who gets in an accident at the studio and misses a year of her life, stuck in a coma. When she wakes up, she finds herself divorced and without a job. She's at a facility back in her home state of Vermont, and needs to recover both physically and mentally from her year asleep.
The setting for this book is an amazing family farm in the hills of Vermont. The farm has been producing maple syrup for generations, and it's very idyllic. Let's just say I brought up Zillow to look at homes for sale in the hills of Vermont 😂. Really, the scenery was my favorite part of Family Tree – I just loved it. I hadn't really thought about Vermont, but I think I'll have to plan a vacation there!
