Heart to Heart in a Shielded World

The Bent Tree Path Series

Two women. Two timelines. One battle.

From two different war-time eras in the suburbs of Washington, D.C., Lena, a Scots-Irish-and Cherokee farmgirl from a loving family who marries young, and Becca, a teenaged single mother lost in a dysfunctional suburban family, must escape their abusive homes to save themselves and their children, but face larger obstacles that threaten to ensnare them in vicious cycles of shame and secrecy.

In this first book of The Bent Tree Path series, A Secret Trail of Tears, Becca and Lena live in two different eras—one during the Vietnam War protest era of the 1970s through the recovery movement of the 1980s, the other before and during World War I and through the Great Depression. Each is snared in a vicious cycle of abuse, and must save not only themselves, but their children. And their children’s children. And so on. Will it ever end? What will it take?
