Unsuspecting Friends is the autobiography of a Sweet Gum tree that describes his second life as a picnic table. This fascinating story can be compared to "The Traveler" in which General Robert E. Lee's horse describes the Civil War from an animal's perspective. For many years Sweet Gum quietly observed residents and visitors of all ages at Lake Windjammer Estates ... watching, listening, learning and, ultimately, caring deeply for them all. Now in his final days, Sweet Gum invites us to share his memories as he reminisces about his many encounters with humans, his Unsuspecting Friends.
