A Wonderful Story

I very much enjoyed reading The Tree House. This is a wonderful story that talks about the freedom to become whatever one wants to be, and being exposed to as many possibilities in life. The authorâs excellent writing has a prose that is deeply satisfying. Emma marries her professor at the age of thirty. The only trouble is that her professor husband dies with secrets left for her to discover. When a vagrant woman arrives on her property Emmaâs life takes on another direction. I donât want to give away anymore of the plot and let the readers discover for themselves this novella gem.

Unexpectedly Loved This Book - Quirky, intriguing with a bit of literary mixed in

I was looking for Jessica's other books when I found this title in the Kindle Store. I tried the sample and within 2 pages I knew this would be a great read. Events immediately take a turn into the unexpected in the first chapter, and I loved seeing the world through the eyes of the protagonist. She asks herself alot of questions as she moves ahead to a new life and new experiences (I guess I can relate to that).

The story isn't written strictly for commercial appeal. In fact this story has more of a literary style than the last 5-8 books I've read. I think the difference is those authors intended to write the next great book that sells (some were really entertaining, but didn't delight me or have intellectual appeal). Seeing Jessica's list of previous publications on her site, it makes sense that she's a writer with a story to unfold (not necessarily to craft for sales).

I chose not to reveal what happens in the story to allow it to magically unfold its surprises. I find it interesting that the early reviewers are all from Massachusetts (?!) for some reason. Well, I'm from Montana...but oops!... I grew up in Massachusetts. Makes me wonder what that connection's about, but I think that readers from other places will enjoy this book, too. A whole-hearted five stars.

Left me wanting more!

This is a wonderful short read. The story is written in a unique style with unusual characters. I was drawn into the fast moving plot at once and wanted more even after surprising information surfaces and the novella comes to an end. I feel there's more to the story and wanted more, but the author gives us a reason to pause and consider what we know by concluding the story the way she does. I hope to see more works by this talented author.

Could not put it down.

This book is wonderful! The writing is excellent and the descriptive detail the author uses makes you feel that you are right there with Emma.
