Highly Recommend
Between the Trees holds such an incredibly honest and raw truth of coming of age in rural America. It is a struggle almost anyone can relate to that takes the reader on a journey of struggle, forgiveness and finding faith in love and the ability to trust again. It is incredibly beautiful, vivid, full of life, color and at times I could almost hear the music coming out of this new classic novel!! Kudos to the author!!
