Working as a naturalistic guide, Jacinda "Jake" Greenwood escorts wealthy eco-conscious tourists to explore the lush forests of an island in British Columbia, which curiously - a coincidence? - bears her name. Without roots and without a family to lean on, one day Jake comes into possession of her grandmother's diary, an unexpected help that allows her to reconstruct her past. Like circling the circumference of a centuries-old tree, one ring after another, she is finally able to travel through the time that has been, the years that have accumulated like wood: layer upon layer. Reading those pages, Jake realizes that her own existence also rests on invisible layers, enclosed in the lives of those who came before her, in the series of crimes and miracles, coincidences and choices that led to her: each layer is the consequence of another, just as every success and disaster are preserved forever.
Tracing back through the twentieth century, she will discover that what unites all members of the Greenwood dynasty since as far back as 1908 - when the lineage took root following a head-on collision between two trains - is the forest itself. With their silent pulsing, the trees offer shelter, but also harbor crimes, extreme decisions, sacrifices, and mistakes. Imposing, captivating, and brilliantly structured like the concentric rings of a tree trunk, "The Greenwoods" stages the intertwining of lies, omissions, and half-truths that mark the origins of every family, a tangle of secrets and betrayals that spans four generations united in the fate of Canada's forests.
