It happened in
stages.
My father left.
My twin sister
died of an incurable autoimmune disease.
My mother
started breaking down.
Then I was
diagnosed with the very thing that took my other half from me.
That was when I
realized Mama’s eyes turned gold when she cried.
So I moved in
with my father and his new family—new wife, new son, new stepbrother.
Kaiden Monroe
made me feel normal.
Hated. Cared
for. Loathed. And … loved.
Somewhere along
the way, I’d found solace in the boy with brooding eyes.
But everything
happens in stages.
And nothing good
ever lasts.
Underneath the
Sycamore Tree has literally flabbergasted me. I really cannot stress enough how
well written this beauty is. The research, the time it took to describe each
character and their backgrounds, and even the supporting characters. Just ..
amazing.
I will tell you
that in order to successfully read this book, you will need an entire box of
tissues. Whether it be tears of fear, sadness, joy or love, you will cry. I
know that I sobbed through many, many chapters. Don’t let that turn you off.
That shows you how well it is written. My all-time favorite book is written by
Kristin Hannah. Well folks, I am here to tell you that Underneath the Sycamore
Tree is ranked right next to it. I never thought that anything would compare,
but I was so wrong.
B. Celeste is a
new to me author and I don’t know what I was waiting for. I should have read
her long ago. This book is brilliance. It’s life. Its raw and real and just
everything a book should be. Make sure to pick up your copy immediately!!

We walk for what
feels like forever until I see a large sycamore tree in the middle of a field
of purple flowers. It seems out of place, yet perfectly set at the same time.
Kaiden walks
over to it and sits down, leaning his back against the thick trunk. He seems at
peace, which is a new look for him. His body is eased as he stretches his long
legs out without a care in the world.
I stare. Not
just at him, but at the tree. It’s huge with its long branches and bright green
leaves transitioning into yellow and orange and red that give the space a
beautiful kind of life. Lo would have loved this spot. She would have dragged
me out and stayed here until Mama called our names in frantic worry. Lo always
wanted to be free, out in the open, surrounded by trees and plants and animals.
Suddenly, the
tears that had finally stopped falling on the way over begin building again
until everything blurs. Bottom lip trembling, I hear Kaiden’s heavy sigh.
“What’s wrong
now?”
I answer
silently what my emotions won’t let me speak aloud.
Lo was buried
under a sycamore tree.
