A new town. A new life. What could go wrong? Plenty, as it turns out. Fifteen-year-old Brandy Shaw, like most girls her age, deals with private demons. Forced to leave her hometown of Winston-Salem, North Carolina, for Denton, Florida, she manages to forget the boy she left behind for a new one, Travis Daly. But Travis has his own problems that end up affecting Brandy in a number of destructive ways. After a chain of events lead to tragedy, Brandy must defend herself against charges of a heinous crime. All she has in her favor is a growing understanding of the mistakes she has made, her attorney and friend, Jack Turner—whose own early life had its problems as well—and her family. A story of love and redemption, Gathering Twigs captures the power of realizing we are worth more than we ever believed possible.
