Thank you sooo much @carmelhanesauthor for gifting us a copy of your book!!! Crooked Grow the Trees by Carmel Hanes is a very well written and extremely thought provoking book. After I finished reading it, I pondered the story for a very long time. Essentially, it’s a story about the reasons behind the way people act and behave. Can people change their behavior if given the right tools or are they forever altered as a result of their upbringing? The main character, Sophia, is a counselor at a youth detention center. She strongly believes in second chances and hopes deep down that she can help these kids overcome their multiple challenges. Her love and support for these troubled teens is refreshing and admiring. While fully involved in helping teach coping skills to her patients, she is dealt a blow in her personal life that brings up deeply buried fears and secrets. Carmel Hanes writes a very cohesive story that intertwines Sophia’s personal and professional life. This book is not a lighthearted and fun read. It deals with a serious subject matter that invokes a little bit of soul searching on the reader’s part. That being said, I had a hard time putting this book down and I very much look forward to reading more from this author!
