Review: The children are talking
Rating: 4 out of 5

If These Trees Could Talk by Brian W. Smith is definitely a good read & if you have children you will want to check this out. The story told from a young boy's perspective about his predator (his mother's boyfriend), which was what piqued my interest to read it. I liked the writing style, the realness of the story, and the fact that this author was willing to go out of the box and talk about a subject that oftentimes is swept under the rug until children come out screaming as damaged goods.The review lost one point because as I came to the end of the book, I kept feeling like there should have been more to the story, by way of a confrontation of the mother and child. Even still, the surprise ending was something I didn't see coming.Definitely recommended reading!
