It's easy to feel like a lone wolf, but you have a support system that loves and cares for you. 16-year-old Grace decides to search for her biological mother after giving up her baby for adoption. Although her biological mother is elusive, her search leads her to two half-siblings she never knew existed. Maya, 15, has been adopted by wealthy parents but faces challenges due to her alcoholic mother and her uniqueness. Joaquin, 18, has been shuffled between foster homes and struggles to form attachments due to his past experiences.  When these three siblings come together, they find a sense of belonging and a place they can call home. However, the secrets they keep threaten to tear them apart.  Far From the Tree is a powerful and emotional novel that explores the complexities of unconventional families. Written with remarkable control and depth, the book delves into the paradoxes and entanglements of family relationships. It's a melodrama with a lot of heart, and author Bonnie Benway has a rare talent for disappearing as an author while fully immersing herself in each character's perspective.  The New York Times praises the book for its compassionate, funny, moving, and compulsively readable nature. It gets right what makes a family, capturing the essence of love, resilience, and the power of connection.  This novel will touch the hearts of readers of all ages and backgrounds, reminding us that no matter how different we may seem, we all belong to a family that loves and supports us.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e                            \u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 270g                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 179 x 145 x 24 (mm)                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781471164330                                                      \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Robin Benway","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44101365367034,"sku":"9781471164330","price":5.7,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/d1ba46e8b2ae489765993cb4e47bbdf1.jpg?v=1630117653","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/far-from-the-tree","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
