A story of quiet heroism, featuring a 12-year-old boy named Sam, better known as "Tree" because of his six foot three height.  Tree's parents have recently divorced, his older brothers have gone off to their universities, and Tree is left to cope on his own with joint custody causing him to live alternate weeks with each parent.  His beloved grandfather and his ancient dog, Bradley, are his two most trusted companions.  Laced with humor, the story nevertheless brings home the distress that Tree feels as his stable home life changes through stressful times.
