Keep this one on your bookshelf!

What a beautiful and haunting story. The financial wealth of a multi generational family is made recklessly in the northwest timber industry and this apathy towards nature seems to be their undoing. You will love the authors sensitive story telling from the viewpoint of a wise fourteen year old. Beautiful ending. You will want to keep this one on your bookshelf to read again!
