- The image shows a spiral-bound scrapbook page. On the left side, there is a photograph of a tree-lined area, possibly a park or residential area. Overlaid on the photograph is a quote from Andrea Koehle Jones, "I'm planting a tree to teach me to gather strength from my deepest roots." Below the photograph, the author's name and the title "The Wish Trees" are written. On the right side of the page, there are handwritten notes discussing a conversation about a house and its features, mentioning a six-pack of beer, two and a half stories, five bedrooms, and a desire for the Taj Mahal. The handwriting is partially obscured by blacked-out sections.
