pickElla Olsen sent a copy of her book to me. I read half of it last night, half of what was left at lunch and finished it today after work. It is so good! You follow five women over a century who are connected through a house they all lived in. The current owner experiences a loss and to help her cope she starts researching her house. A companion novel will come out late 2017 and I can't wait to read it!
Comfy cat, beautiful book. Savoring Ella Olsen's "Root, Petal, Thorn" this Saturday.

I'm on my way to a book convention and really don't need to be buying any books ... and yet sometimes covers just have a way of jumping out at you. 😍
pickThis is one of my favorite covers right now, I love working with it for photos at work. Enough about that though-- this book is a gorgeous and emotional fiction story that wove in historical components to seamlessly create a generational story about growing up. A story all about strong women and the world around them. ❤️🌹 The beautiful moments in life come with hard work and a few thorns. Not my typical read, but I loved it.
pickThis was such a good multi-timeline story about the sadness and hope in every person's story. Told through the POVs of numerous women living in the same home over decades, each story highlighted a new set of challenges, from death of a loved one to polygamy to mental illness. A lot to ponder and empathize with. 🌟🌟🌟🌟#KensingtonFiction
Beach reading! ❤️
