Narrado por: Pat Higgins Adelhardt

Intrigue, secrets, memories, fear, love, and fortitude propel the author along a journey that spans a continent and reveals the childhood ghosts that impacted her self-confidence and decisions as an adult. An enthusiastic and positive perspective was instrumental in her quest to slay her demons far from her Oregon roots as she perseveres and proves the apple doesn't always stay near the tree.

Writer's Digest review of Far from the Tree: "An engrossing memoir that tenderly reveals the truth about the author's life. Not only was she influenced by family relationships, but the different places she lived, as well. The reader enjoys learning about those places without being bombarded with too much travelogue. The reader can see that the author is a gentle, strong woman, the type of woman a person would want to know. Adelhardt is skilled in storytelling, letting the reader in on her life through a series of essays. This method works well here because the essays all move the true story along and the reader doesn't need to struggle with back and forth, moving through different time periods. The story is told and told well. The cover is charming. Inside, the production values are excellent and the book is easy to read. Not only does the author reveal much about her early life, but later life, as well, with honesty and integrity. This excellent book is highly recommended."
