![]() ![]() Raven spends her days learning how to use her rare gifts-and more important, how to hide them. She must never speak to outsiders about how her mother makes miracles spring from the earth, or about her father, whose mysterious presence sometimes frightens her. In a remote area of Washington, a young girl named Raven keeps secrets inside, too. Convinced she can only do more harm to her family, Ellis leaves her husband and young sons, burying her desperate ache for her children deeper with every step into the mountain wildernesses she treks alone. A breaking point in an already fractured marriage, Viola’s abduction causes Ellis to disappear as well-into grief, guilt, and addiction. In a moment of crisis, Ellis Abbey leaves her daughter, Viola, unattended-for just a few minutes. One unbearable mistake at the edge of the forest. Go on a powerful journey of forgiveness and healing with The Light Through the Leaves, a transcendent novel of love, loss, and self-discovery by the Wall Street Journal bestselling author of Where the Forest Meets the Stars. ![]()
