Twelve year old Miranda Amelia Harden has lived all her life on her grandfather's ranch in the mountains. All she wants is to stay there, but the rest of the world can't seem to leave her alone. She has only two questions. How young is too young to know what you want? How young is too young to get it?Nowadays a young person out on a ranch or a farm somewhere in the middle of nowhere could easily be as connected – internet-wise – as anybody else in the world. She could be out there all alone and yet still have a social network and manage all of the family finances as long as she had a smart phone and wireless service. How might that change a sort of Anne of Green Gables story? That’s partly what “The Girl in the Trees” is about. It’s also a sort of wish-fulfillment fantasy of a young person who just wants to be left alone.

Review by:
Jim Stinson
on Feb. 18, 2013 :
This will be a fine story…
…when the second half is published. The author paints vivid characters, sets up a very promising situation, moves the story briskly forward into dire complications, and then…
…Quits. Just like that.
If it were an overtly experimental fiction fragment or a free come-on for the whole book, I would grumble but accept it; but a standalone story it ain’t. This highly talented writer is like the little girl who had a little curl right in the middle of her forehead.
