"The book you are holding is not meant to be carried along the concrete sidewalks, dog-eared and thumbed through, held up against the profile of each unknown street tree to determine its identity. The intention here is to capture the artistry and aesthetics of street trees and, if possible, provoke an emotional feeling inspired by the trees. We want to lure you into the book with its gorgeous colors and naturalistic images so that we can whisper into your ear the value of native trees in a functioning urban ecosystem. We can better share our city streets and yards and rights-of-way with nature by supporting the native trees that support the native ecosystem; a support not provided by the traditional non-native ornamental species sold in quantity at box stores and high-volume nurseries. Rather than mitigate the impacts of concrete and steel, non-native plants increase the urban food desert, their leaves and flowers strange fruit in a strange land, bitter poison to native insects and other endemic foragers"--

Celeste English and Ronnie Frazier are sisters, but they couldn't be more different. Celeste is a doctor's wife, living a perfect and elegant life. But secretly, she is terrified: her marriage is falling apart and her need to control the people around her threatens to alienate her entire family. And Celeste allows no one to see how vulnerable she really is. Ronnie is an actress, living in New York. Her life, however, is a lie: she has no money, has no home, and her life is held together by "chewing gum, paper clips, and spit," though she wants everyone to think that her life is one of high glamour and budding fame. When their father dies, the sisters inherit a house in Prosper, North Carolina. Their mother, Della, is adamant that they forget about going there and dredging up the past. Because Della has secrets she'd rather not see come to light-secrets and heartbreak she's kept from everyone for years. Neither Ronnie, Celeste, nor Della realize just what their trip to Prosper will uncover and they must discover for themselves who they really are, who they really love, and what the future holds for them. Far From The Tree is a novel that asks the questions: can the past ever truly remain hidden? Can mothers and daughters put aside their usual roles long enough to get to really know each other? Long enough to see they each have felt the love, loss, heartache and joy that they share as women. And can two strangers realize that they are, and always will be, sisters?
