β¦ Synopsis
A very unusual family saga written with unusual intelligence and compassion. Erica Witsell has a gift for depicting complex relationships.-Phyllis Rose, author of Parallel Lives, The Year of Reading Proust, and The Shelf.
Every summer, Jessie and Emma leave their suburban home in the Central Valley and fly north to Baymont. Nestled among Mendocinoβs golden hills, with ponies to love and endless acres to explore, Baymont should be a childβs paradise. But Baymont belongs to Laurel, the girlsβ birth mother, whose heedless parenting and tainted judgement cast a long shadow over the sistersβ summersοΏ½-and their lives.
Caught in a web of allegiances, the girls learn again and again that every loyalty has its price, and that even forgiveness can take unexpected turns.
Luminous and poignant, Give is the story of one familyβs troubled quest to redeem the mistakes of the past and a stirring testament to the bonds of sisterhood.
This is a gripping...
