Saplings and Sisters

By Sandra H. Miller and Deborah Cuneo

In this poetic portrait, three farm girls adopt their own trees and make discoveries about nature, the magic of nurturing, and themselves. As they all grow, they share the joy of living in a loved landscape and the beauty of their unique differences.

Each tree, by nature's fortune, had treasures to impart, as each of us has gifts to offer from the heart.
