By: Sorrel D Richmond Long ago, The Goddess of the Trees gave great gifts to generations of women living in a secluded forest in the West Virginia mountains. Mothers give birth to daughters, and when it's time, their souls embody the trees and live on, immortal. Madeline did not follow her ancestors to the family circle. Instead, she left the mountain and her eldest daughter, Beatrice, alone to save her youngest child. Years later, Beatrice, the only woman in her lineage to give birth to a son, continues her isolated life until a New York reporter enters her sanctuary. When she offers Beatrice the opportunity to find her estranged mother, the two women set off on a journey that leads Beatrice to a world of cement and metal. Madeline's psychic visions incite a series of events that escalate when both she and Beatrice allow friendship and love into their secret world. It is up to Madeline to stop her daughter's powers from leading to death and destruction. Can this magical mother and daughter reconcile before it is too late? Show more
