In The Tall Trees | Angel N Van Atta
2 posts | 2 read | 1 to read
Mella lives in a tiny house in the middle of a dense forest with her mommy and her baby brother, Pete. Sometimes her daddy comes, and with him often the bad man comes, as well. Mella knows that she, her mommy and little brother are a secret family living where nobody knows they are, but she can't remember why that is or why her mommy is chained to the floor. In The Tall Trees is a story told through the eyes of our little hero as she must brave what's out there, lurking in the shadows, to save all that she knows and loves in the world.

A woman & her young daughter are taken from their home to a cabin in the woods.

2 years later Mella & her 2 yr old brother Patrick live in fear of the man they know as daddy. They don‘t understand why Alex is chained to the floor but daddy has convinced them that mommy is a liar.

The story is told by the young girl so you need to think like a young girl. Sometimes she‘s just parroting Alex & Charlie.

I was on edge the entire time.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️1/2

Indie author brawl! This was super depressing. I almost stopped it several times, but I‘m glad I kept with it. I‘ve never read Room, but I heard a lot of comparisons with it, in that both are told from the point of view of a child. The afterword by the author made this story all the more heartbreaking.
