    About this ebook

    Have you ever been surrounded by people smarter, richer, and more physically attractive than you? Or, no matter how hard you try, you can't achieve the lofty accomplishments that your co-workers reach? The Tree No One Wanted felt disillusionment to his core. He was teased and bullied, even though he did nothing to deserve the ridicule from his peers. Yet, he held strong, and grew to maturity to serve a Godly purpose no tree had ever been called upon to do before.
