In 2012\, CJ first learned of Ellwyne Ballantyne and the astonishing relationship he forged with two strangers after reading a short newspaper article about the dedication of an unusual tree to a long-dead soldier from World War One. With obligations to work and family filling her time\, she wasn’t yet ready to hear his story. It took a global pandemic\, with the prospect of lockdowns and unexpected forced time at home\, to open her ears\, mind\, and heart and be ready to explore the roots of Ellwyne’s story that took place more than a century before. \nCJ grew up in the 1980s in a wood-framed farmhouse built by Scottish settlers\, situated on a dead-end road that terminates near the winding Sydenham River. In 2000\, this road was renamed from a numbered concession to Buttonwood Drive. The name reflects the stand of buttonwood trees gathered at the river’s edge\, where they most comfortably grow. \nIn 2020\, she began reflecting on the fallen soldier and his extraordinary buttonwood tree that grows near her childhood home. Her curiosity eventually led her to the doors of Carruthers clan descendants\, where she begged to have a conversation about Ellwyne and his connection to the tree. Thinking it might have the makings of a short story\, she began putting together the pieces of Ellwyne Ballantyne’s brief life. But\, with each photograph\, letter\, and artifact shared\, she became more engrossed in the tale of an orphan who had stepped foot on three continents and was taken in by strangers who came to love him as their own. At the outset\, CJ did not anticipate that it would bloom into a novel\, but as she learned more details about the characters and events\, she believed that each nugget was fascinating and intriguing.  \n  \n\nJoin Zoom Meeting – more details\nhttps://us06web.zoom.us/j/88548582065?pwd=VEZTIFxIdFbcMmHozRsa4wL4dTYg8N.1 \nMeeting ID: 885 4858 2065 \nPasscode: 459615 \nOne tap mobile \n+15074734847\,\,88548582065#\,\,\,\,*459615# US \n+15642172000\,\,88548582065#\,\,\,\,*459615# US \n  \n— \n  \nDial by your location \n\n +1 507 473 4847 US\n +1 564 217 2000 US\n +1 646 558 8656 US (New York)\n +1 646 931 3860 US\n +1 669 444 9171 US\n +1 689 278 1000 US\n +1 719 359 4580 US\n +1 720 707 2699 US (Denver)\n +1 253 205 0468 US\n +1 253 215 8782 US (Tacoma)\n +1 301 715 8592 US (Washington DC)\n +1 305 224 1968 US\n +1 309 205 3325 US\n +1 312 626 6799 US (Chicago)\n +1 346 248 7799 US (Houston)\n +1 360 209 5623 US\n +1 386 347 5053 US\n\n  \nMeeting ID: 885 4858 2065 \nPasscode: 459615 \n
