Family Tree by Susan Wiggs
4.0
I am a fan of Susan Wiggs. Her books are great chic-lit and romance stories that I always devour. Family Tree seemed a little different to me. I think I would label it more women’s fiction. There was romance, there was love, but this was more of the story of Annie Rush Harlow. The story of a woman excited about the life she was living and where it was heading until something horrific happen and it was all taken from her. The kicker? She didn’t even realize what was happening.
When Anna wakes up from her coma she must make tough decisions, learn to live again, and remake her entire life. Her struggles were real. Susan Wiggs portrayed Anna as such a strong person. Even when she was physically weak she was mentally strong. She never gave up, she never let go of hope, and she pushed to get all her dreams fulfilled. The saving grace for Anna is how her family and friends in her hometown of Switchback, Vermont all work together to bring her back to a place better than she last remembers. I enjoyed seeing her reconnect with high school friends, get reacquainted with her dad, and seeing her mom in a new light.
They style of the story flows perfectly. With the past and present both being told there are no missed steps. The characters move easily in the right timeframe between the two parts and the storyline never falters between the timeframes. I definitely recommend picking up your own copy.
