The Beach Trees

Author: Karen White
Genre: Fiction
Publisher: Penguin Publishing Group, 2011
Pages: 432
Rating: Highly Recommend

Synopsis: From the time she was twelve, Julie Holt knew what a random tragedy can do to a family. At that tender age, her little sister disappeared-never to be found. It was a loss that slowly eroded the family bonds she once relied on. As an adult with a prestigious job in the arts, Julie meets a struggling artist who reminds her so much of her sister, she can't help feeling protective. It is a friendship that begins a long and painful process of healing for Julie, leading her to a house on the Gulf Coast, ravaged by hurricane Katrina, and to stories of family that take her deep into the past.

Review: This was my first book by Karen White, and what an introduction it was. From the first words on the first page, I was hooked. I loved the cast of characters, and there was just so many unknowns that started unfolding right away. Fantastic summer reading choice.
