Watching the Tree Limbs

Knowing something bad will happen if she misses, nine-year-old Mara keeps her appointments. And she's never told a soul. But despite the fear and shame that ensnare her, she clings to the hope that she can break free. Mara doesn't know her real name. She doesn't even know who her parents are. But with the help of her best friend, Camilla, and the mysterious DJ, Denim, she determines to unveil the secrets that shroud her life. Caught in a maelstrom of lies and deceit, Mara picks her way through the wreckage of a lost childhood until the day something magical happens underneath the pecan tree. Written in beautiful prose and set against the backdrop of the quirky town of Burl, Texas, Watching the Tree Limbs takes us on a journey through a young girl's self-discovery and reveals the lengths to which God will go to redeem His precious children.DeMuth, Mary E. is the author of 'Watching the Tree Limbs ', published 2006 under ISBN 9781576839263 and ISBN 1576839265.
