Why read it?

1 author picked Tangled Violets as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

Tangled Violets is beautifully written, and I could not put this book down. It's told from the point of view of an adopted child who grows up with many questions.

When she is an adult, she searches for her birth parents, and the story then takes an unexpected and disturbing turn. The characters are so real that I felt I was experiencing the story with them. The writing is rich in imagery, and the story is compelling. It handles uncomfortable subjects with finesse.

Not only is this my favorite book of the past twelve months, but it's also my favorite…
