Reviewed in the United States on January 23, 2018

I had the pleasure of reading this book as an ARC reader and I was blown away by the raw depth of the characters. Margo, the main character, will take you on her journey as she struggles to make peace with her past and build her future when life just doesn't seem to be making sense at the moment. Lisa had crafted a wonderful story that speaks to the depth of human emotions. Life decisions. Love choices. Regrets. And second chances. Bravo, Lisa, bravo.

Lisa Borm’s novella Religion of the Trees is not what I had envisioned when I picked it up. But these four short stories that are tied together in that all the characters live on Harding Street.

Millicent, now an old woman, has an affinity for the trees, they offer her rejuvenation, vitality and a deep connection to life. She repays them by taking care of them, helping the young trees grow and, on the day, that a new baby is born on Harding Street, in the dark of night she plants a young tree on the families’ property. This tree grows with the child, bonds and helps the child find their path toward adulthood.

Ms. Borm has written these four short stories in such a way as to take this reader into the depth and breadth of the lives the trees touch. There is a depth of character, storyline, and understanding of the connection both nature and others bring to each of us that one would only expect in a wildly successful author.

The book is brilliant, rich in love, reconciliation, hope and is heartwarming. ‘Religion of the Trees’ was a profoundly enriching find. One that I will reread regularly.

I love this book. I am not typically satisfied with novellas, but this one was lovely. The words wrapped me in warmth and I felt as if I was there. It was more than a series of stories, but a homecoming. If you are looking for something to restore you, this is the book.

Wow! I was in love with the 3 main characters from the get-go!. Margo and Darryl are explosive together. Justin was my fave as he kept a cool head as Meggie and Darryl tore strips off each other. The dynamics of the characters and the plot kept me reading into the wee hrs. I give this story 5 lightening bolts for a sizzling read.

5.0 out of 5 starsONE OF THE GREATS

May 27, 2018

Format: Kindle Edition

When Lightning Strikes the Cottonwoods by Lisa L Borm, is a wonderfully written tale of the struggle to overcome childhood abuse and trauma through connection and lasting friendships. Friendships that last through loss and separation only to rekindle the bonds later in life.
It is both a love story and a story of the importance of belonging.
Ms. Borm is not only an excellent writer but sees an insight that few go into the heart and soul of people. Both male and female characters are strong with a sense of presence rarely found in many of today’s books, even from the most successful and popular authors. Her writing style allows the reader to delve deeply into the hearts and minds of the characters, walk along with them all the while feeling their pain, confusion, hope, love, and mind.
One feels as if they live in this town, know these people intimately and can relate to them. It can make one long for a simpler life, without the hustle and bustle of the city.
When Lightning Strikes the Cottonwoods, is one of the best of literary adventures. It is reminiscent of books written by John Steinbeck, JD Salinger, William Faulkner, and Virginia Wolff. It is a rare book, and I’d happily place it on my shelf next to these other great novels.
