As John Barrymore once said, happiness often sneaks in through a door you didn’t know you left open.
Margaret Andersson has led an unremarkable life. Some might even say a wasted one. As a young teenager with family money and the world before her, Margaret’s future is stunted when her teenage girlfriends abandon her for no reason ever explained. She knows she is not the first teen to be bullied and left behind, and she knows that others in similar circumstances simply move on. Margaret, however, cannot. Her bitterness and lonely days morph into years, with her sole companion her mother Ada, who dies young of cancer. Now Margaret must trudge on alone in her small hometown where she senses judgment and, at times, contempt.
When the unlikeliest of change agents appears on her doorstep, Margaret comes to understand that the path to the left, upon which she began her journey long ago, is not carved in stone. The path to the right—where happiness is a choice—is directly in front of her; she need only take the first step. The Cookie Tree is a story about spiritual redemption…and about a little dog named Harry.
