Rosen offers a firsthand witnessing of Foley’s transformation from a reticent hippie musician to the enigmatic singer/songwriter who would live and die outside society's rules. Her tracing of his impact on her life navigates a lovers' roadmap along the permeable boundary between life and death. Living in the Woods in a Tree is an intimate glimpse into the turbulent life of Texas music legend Blaze Foley (19491989), seen through the eyes of Sybil Rosen, the woman for whom he wrote his most widely known song, If I Could Only Fly.” It captures the exuberance of their fleeting idyll in a tree house in the Georgia woods during the countercultural 1970s. While Foley's own
Stay Away To me this book is nothing more than a cheap way for Rosen to write her own life story. I purchased this book in order to learn about Blaze Foley not Rosen. I found Rosen to be pathetic and exploitative. If one is interested in Foley I suggest reading elsewhere.If you are looking to be educated in Jewish belles or of the imaginary world in which the author lived then by all me.

Her relationship with Blaze may have been, as she describes it, a "fleeting idyll" in the grand scheme of things, but as she looks back from the distance of years through the uncertain filter of
Rosen’s time with him (and her deft telling of that time) reveals so much about the man and the music.”—Peter Cooper, The Tennessean “Poetic and gripping, this beautifully written book ends up being about Blaze, the author, the times, and the creative journey. Mr. “Thumbs up!”—Merle Haggard “Living in the Woods in a Tree comes at a time when music fans are hungry to know more about Blaze Foley. Foley blazed the outdoors and made the rest of us unique. A rare book about a rare being."--Colonel Bruce Hampton. This book will appeal to anyone who enjoys strong writing and great story telling, who is interested in Blaze Foley or Texas music. There are no books that compete with Rosen’s, and it’s quite unlikely that any ever will. An i
