About this listen
A new town. A new life. What could go wrong? Plenty, as it turns out.
Fifteen-year-old Brandy Shaw, like most girls her age, deals with private demons. Forced to leave her hometown of Winston-Salem, North Carolina, for Denton, Florida, she manages to forget the boy she left behind for a new one, Travis Daly. But Travis has his own problems that end up affecting Brandy in a number of destructive ways.
After a chain of events lead to tragedy, Brandy must defend herself against charges of a heinous crime. All she has in her favor is a growing understanding of the mistakes she has made, her attorney and friend, Jack Turner—whose own early life had its problems as well—and her family.
A story of love and redemption, Gathering Twigs captures the power of realizing we are worth more than we ever believed possible.

Story
Eric Northcraft is struggling to raise his three daughters without his wife, who recently died of cancer. While he misses his late wife Emily, he must do his best to be both a father and mother to his young daughters. Lisa, the oldest at 14, is horse-crazy, an interest not well-supported by his teacher's salary. Grace, his middle child, is intellectually challenged, mentally more like a five-year-old than a girl of 11. Monica, the youngest, is the rebellious one and is convinced her father loves her sisters more than her.

The third installment does not disappoint!
I continue to enjoy this series by Charles Tabb. There is nothing foul, nothing flashy, and nothing fancy about it. But it's a beautifully written and beautifully narrated story about life in small town Florida.
