If a tree falls in the forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?

Heart Root is a memoir written by Susan McCoy about her journey through grief to recreate a life filled with possibility and purpose.  Using trees and music to tell her story and through the power of reading, McCoy gains the courage to draw a line in the sand of her life - makng an X - where she invited change.  Susan documents the moments, the 'aha' awakenings, that opened her heart to learn through the pain of grief and, instead of her past behavior of running away, she turns toward the experience determined to understand the why of her existence with the intent on embracing her purpose.
Heart Root is written in an honest voice that can open your heart to reflect on life.  McCoy's ultimate message is one of hope and triumph.
