The Birch Tree Path

Her busy life as a young mother aside, Keira sets out to track down the modern silva rerum with some difficulty. A fascinating read, the memoir unearths the mysteries of family lives lived before she was born in a vastly different South Africa.

With her own babies ever-present in her mind, she follows the life of her great-aunt, discovering courage and sorrow in the threads of Abigail’s story.

Keira’s growing appreciation for her place in the family tree is tempered by the hierarchy of blood ties, family myths, secrets and lies that are revealed, as well as the unreliability of memory and intent.

This captivating story contains subtle, yet deeply emotional messages that tug at the heart strings and makes the reader think about the roots of their own family tree.

Our future generations’ experiences are shaped by the decisions we make today. How different would life have been if Abigail had made different choices? How would Keira have handled the same decisions Abigail faced? How will our children’s and grandchildren’s futures be affected by the decisions we make today?
