Just Wonderful!

This is the first book by the "Peace Troubador" I've read, and I was deeply moved by the story. It's just wonderful - poignant and heart-warming. Will not disappoint any reader!

Prepare to have your soul touched VERY DEEPLY.

There are are many simple and profound messages contained within this MAGICAL little book.I believe that the word is just starting to get out about the book and that it is destined for Number 1 status within the very short term. A position that it wholeheartedly deserves as it had me sobbing with joy throughout the last few pages and deeply touched me many, many times throughout the rest of the book.This is NOT a book for women only and I wish that men would read the book and follow the glorious messages within. It would transform their relationships.

Warmed my soul...

I received my copy of "The Proposing Tree" in the mail last night and started reading it this morning. I finished it in no time at all...so eager to see how the story played out. It really touched something inside me, reassuring me that love is out there, even though it may not come to us when we want it to or in the way we expect it to.Although it's just a little book, you really get to know and care for the characters Frederick, Carolyn, and Colin. Thanks to James Twyman for sharing this wonderful story with his fans.

A Beautiful, Heartfelt Story!

Wow, what a magical love story! So glad I found this story - it is a beautiful and romantic love story, one I will treasure forever. Ranks up there with The Notebook by Sparks and Shade of the Maple by Kirk Martin, two of my all-time favorites! You will love this!

Amazing Read!!! Romance and Spirit in One.

I have read all of James Twyman's books, but this one surpasses the reast. It is simple and profound, yet touches the spirit and heart in a way he never has before. Women especially will treasure this story. You'll pull it to your heart and read it over and over. Take my advice. You're going to love this.Diane
