ReviewsThere was a hedge tree in the O'Bryans' side yard. Like the ones in Grandma East's yard, it always dropped the useless apples and thorn-tipped branches on the ground that had to be cleared away. The tree stretched up and out well enough for a room-sized tree house that Grandpa had built for Una from cedar wood. Una no longer used the tree house and reluctantly granted me access in exchange for a promise not to smoke inside. I enjoyed climbing up there to lie on the floor and inhale the cedar as I pretended to be someone else, someone smarter, prettier, and blessed with unconstrained talent for song, dance and stage.
SynopsisCharity Eleanor Sintz was born on a Wednesday and likes girls better than boys but these are the least of her problems. The year is 1972, Tricky Dick is in the White House, and four-year-old Charity is trying to puzzle out everyone's odd behavior at her mother's funeral. For Charity, nature is a less demanding and more reliable entity than humanity, giving itself with no promises made or broken. After losing her beloved Grandma East at the age of eight, Charity's quiet, organized life in the middle of southern Indiana's churches and cornfields comes to an end and she spends the next several years raising herself, coming of age like an insolent weed with no hope of acceptance from any self-respecting corner of the garden. But if the entire world is outside the garden, maybe it's not all bad., Charity Eleanor Sintz likes girls better than boys but this is the least of her problems. The year is 1972, Tricky Dick is in the White House, and four-year-old Charity has managed to offend the better part of Roosevelt County, Indiana, by not crying at her mother's funeral. Charity learns at a young age that with rare exceptions, people in books are usually safer and more interesting than the people in front of her and that trees are more comforting than humans; sometimes Charity feels trapped in the wrong species. Left to her own devices, she grows into a random weed that can't find a squat in the garden. But if the entire world is outside the garden, maybe it's not all bad., Charity Eleanor Sintz likes girls better than boys but this is the least of her problems. The year is 1972, Tricky Dick is in the White House, and four-year-old Charity has just scandalized the better part of Roosevelt County, Indiana, by neglecting to cry at her mother's funeral. She'll spend the next fifteen years trying to make up for it.
