The Kissing Tree by various authors

 In a small town in Texas a lone oak stands just outside the town limits.  It becomes the center of four generations of romances, set in the late 1800's, the Depression, WWII,  and ending in the present day.  Each romance novella in the collection is written by a different author, but there they were clearly written in order from the earliest to the latest, because each refers to events in the pervious stories.  The romances are sweet and clean and just what you would expect from the title. Because they are written by different authors, there is a refreshing varieties of personalities for both the male and female protagonists. I also enjoyed how each author envisioned how a small rural town would change from one generation to the next. This is not great literature, and I did enjoy some stories better than others, but, overall, a good enough escapist novel for a clean romance reader. (2020 400 p)
