Courage Tree (Original)
Courage Tree (Original) | Diane Chamberlain
4 posts | 11 read | 5 to read
Eight-year-old Sophie Donohue just wanted to be like every other little girl. Which is why her mother, Janine, reluctantly agreed to let her go on the weekend camping trip with her Brownie troop. But when Janine arrives to pick up Sophie after the trip, her daughter is not with the others. Somehow, along the forested route from West Virginia, Sophie has disappeared. But Sophie is no ordinary eight-year-old. She suffers from a rare disease, and Janine has recently enrolled her in an experimental treatment as a last effort to save her life--despite the vehement objections of her ex-husband, Joe. Without her medication, Sophie cannot survive long. All her mother's instincts tell Janine that Sophie is alive, but time is running out. Deep in the Virginia forest, another drama unfolds. Sophie finds refuge in a remote cabin inhabited by Zoe, a woman who wants nothing to do with the child. Zoe is struggling to save her own daughter from the law, and Sophie's presence jeopardizes any chance of that happening. She is as determined to save her daughter as Janine is to save Sophie...and only one of them can succeed.

I‘m a longtime fan of Chamberlain‘s— though since discovering her novels over a decade ago, I‘ve tried to ration out her backlog! It‘s hard to believe this one is 23 years old— other than some technology, it has a surprisingly current feel. When Janine‘s daughter doesn‘t make it home from the Brownie camping trip that already deepened the wedge between her and her parents and ex, she‘s determined to bring her home. Gripping, though predictable.

This was really good. Another page-turner that kept me wanting to stay up late and read! Oh, Joe and Janine‘s parents just made me want to smack them all, though. In addition to a couple other characters.

I honestly love a Diane Chamberlain book and this was no exception. I was really drawn into all the characters and found it hard to put the book down. I didn't particularly like Janine but I think that made the story more intense.
