Watching the tree limbs keeps resilient nine-year-old Mara
Weatherall from the pain of General's daily attacks--attacks he
warns her to keep secret, or else. In the small world of 1979 Burl,
Texas, all Mara really has are the tree limbs, a lumbering Aunt
Elma, her boyfriend Officer Gus, the bully General, and her new
best friend Camilla who rhymes maddening snatches of truth. Mara
needs to escape General's advances and find out who her real
parents are before those who would want to destroy her succeed.
Will she recognize redemption through Zady the Jesus-loving
housekeeper, Denim the clandestine town prophet, or Mr. Winningham
her new guardian whose quiet rage masks even deeper secrets?
