Finalist for a Santa Fe Writers Project Literary Award

Hidden in the heart of Atlanta, a pristine forest shimmers with magic, but an unscrupulous developer plans to flatten Silver Park - unless two brave women can stop him. Arden Collier risks losing her home. Parker Gozer owns most of Arden’s secret forest, which is rooted in Atlanta’s rich African-American history. As Arden struggles to reclaim her artistic voice, Parker confronts the man who once preyed upon her - and now wants to spoil a rare urban oasis. Both women fight to protect the place that has tangled itself around their hearts like flowering kudzu vines, achingly sweet as a beloved child.

The story is great and the characters are deep

I purchased the audio version of this book. The story is very good. The characters are unique without the usual cliches that you see from other novels. The author has a very clever way of using metaphors to deepen the story line. Her choice of words sometimes made me want to go back and hear it twice. I usually play audio books at 1.5 speed, but I slowed this one down to normal speed so i could process everything. The length is appropriate. Not too long, but long enough to really get into it. I loved it!
