This is the type of book where you will go through a range of emotions due to some of the character’s actions, but not living in their shoes, it’s really hard not to know exactly what you would do.
I needed to know how everything was going to work out and could think of nothing else until I got to the end. I immediately became invested in the characters and found myself emotionally attached to them. And this latest one is just as beautiful and captivating as I expected it would be. My thoughts: I absolutely loved Glendy Vanderah’s debut novel, Where the Forest Meets the Stars, so it was a no-brainer when I was pitched this book as to whether I would read it. But despite her mother’s cautions, Raven finds herself longing for something more.Īs Ellis and Raven each confront their powerful longings, their journeys will converge in unexpected and hopeful ways, pulled together by the forces of nature, love, and family. With each lesson comes a warning of what dangers lie in the world beyond her isolated haven. Raven spends her days learning how to use her rare gifts – and more important, how to hide them. She must never speak to outsiders about how her mother makes miracles spring from the earth, or about her father, whose mysterious presence sometimes frightens her. In a remote area of Washington, a young girl named Raven keeps secrets inside, too. Convinced she can only do more harm to her family, Ellis leaves her husband and young sons, burying her desperate ache for her children deeper with every step into the mountain wildernesses she treks alone. A breaking point in an already fractured marriage, Viola’s abduction causes Ellis to disappear as well – into grief, guilt, and addiction. In a moment of crisis, Ellis Abbey leaves her daughter, Viola, unattended – for just a few minutes. One unbearable mistake at the edge of the forest.
Go on a powerful journey of forgiveness and healing with The Light Through the Leaves, a transcendent novel of love, loss, and self-discovery by the Wall Street Journal bestselling author of Where the Forest Meets the Stars.
