In Praise of Rooted Together
Last week I was part of a Michigan Authors' Gathering at the Ransom District Library in Plainwell, MI. There were over 25 authors there, which was impressive. During the event, I had a chance to chat with Jolene Witt, author of Rooted Together.
Jolene is a laid back person, but her writing ability is anything but. I bartered for a copy of her book and found it to be a very captivating telling of a mother-daughter trip she took with her oldest child. The destination (to climb and sleep in a tree that was over 250 feet tall) was remarkable. So was the journey that she chronicles with lots of humor, grace and wisdom. You really don't have to be mom to appreciate the special connection that Witt so artfully describes.
Rooted Together is available via Amazon.com. I highly recommend it.
