Hidden in the Trees

Fifteen years ago, Kelly Bowers fled Riverton, Virginia, leaving behind a troubled home and a life she couldn't wait to escape. Now, a family health scare forces her back to her childhood town, along with her teenage daughter, Daisy, reopening old wounds Kelly thought she'd buried forever.

For Daisy, Riverton is an exciting mystery. Her mother has always avoided talking about her past, and Daisy sees this trip as her chance to uncover the secrets Kelly has carefully hidden-starting with the identity of her father. But the deeper Daisy digs into her mother's life, the more questions she uncovers, including the significance of the hidden pond Kelly forbids her to visit.

As Kelly grapples with the memories she's spent years suppressing, Daisy grows closer to uncovering the truth about her family and her roots. When tensions between them boil over, both mother and daughter are forced to confront their pasts and decide whether they can build a future together.

Hidden in the Trees is a moving story of family, forgiveness, and the search for identity. It explores the power of secrets, the bonds between mothers and daughters, and the courage it takes to face the past.
