The author takes the reader on an agonizing and painful journey of molestation as seen through the eyes of two young boys.  With a story line that flows effortlessly, the author almost forces you to experience a progression of emotions that range from empathy, hate, fear, revulsion to hope."If These Trees Could Talk" creatively brings the taboo subject of molestation to the forefront.  With a riveting plot and twists that will leave you breathless, Smith manages to weave a tale of pain and promise.  I look forward to reading other titles by this author.
