The Thorn Tree is a novel that crosses continents and generations, from a mother and daughter’s first fraught confrontation in South Carolina to the emigrations of of great aunts to England, America, Canada and Australia. Witty, intelligent and painfully human, Hope, Margaret and Agatha come of age, come to terms with mid-life and reckon with death, respectively, while they grapple with honoring their differences and strengthening each other.

You can buy it at all the usual places, like my favorite local bookstore, M. Judson, as well as Booktopia, Waterstones, Amazon, and Barnes and Noble.
