""When Gretchen was a young girl, she almost drowned when she fell into a swift irrigation ditch. She was saved by her father, but as a result of her accident, she lost her hearing in one ear. Her closest friend and eventual husband, Samuel, took action when he learned that Gretchen might be held back in school because of her hearing problem. With total disregard for school policy, Samuel refused to leave Gretchen's side and attended every one of her classes. To the great chagrin of the teachers, he loudly repeated whatever was said."" Not Far from the Tree tells the story of a restless twelve-year old boy who knows nothing about the lives of his parents or grandparents. Overwhelmed with certain events of the day, he suddenly explodes and demands to know more about his ancestors. The book is a composite of what he learns.
