The Rowan Tree is the second book of The Family Tree series. When 12-year-old Iris Gibson met her grandparents as a result of a 7th grade genealogy assignment, she discovered a family tree as big as a Scots pine. She also discovered the strange ability she's always had has a name – An Dà Shealladh. In Iris, this gift of Two Sights is not so much about seeing as feeling. Feeling an anxious dread sparking along the axons of her solar plexus, she knows when something is wrong but never quite what it is or just how she can help. She still questions herself ... and worries about looking like a lunatic if she gets it wrong.

Iris has been in love with Daniel for four years and if there is one feeling she's always had about him, it's certainty. But now that dread is nagging at her again, about Daniel. But if she warns him, will he even believe her? The Rowan Tree is not only a symbol of Iris's love for Daniel and his belief in her, but a beacon towards a safe haven when it means the difference between life and death.
