I knew I would relate to Boo Walker's characters - who were coming of age in my era. Then when I found out Annalisa was an aspiring artist, like many in my family, my attention was grabbed. The small town, big town, bio or found family themes - are all here. The Vietnam war , of course, threw a hitch into the love that Annalisa seems to be avoiding anyway, but there are many layers to the family she builds and loves. Her life becomes so much better when she opens her heart for love, and all the complications and surprises it brings. I read this book with my husband - a perfect parallel read, and we both enjoyed it. I listened to the audio book - smooth and well done.

Maine, 1969. After losing her parents in a car accident, aspiring artist Annalisa Mancuso lives with her grandmother and their large Italian family in the stifling factory town of Payton Mills. Inspired by her mother, whose own artistic dreams disappeared in a damaged marriage, Annalisa is dedicated only to painting. Closed off to love, and driven as much by her innate talent as she is the disillusionment of her past, Annalisa just wants to come into her own. The first step is leaving Payton Mills and everything it represents. The next, the inspiring opportunities in the city of Portland and a thriving New England art scene where Annalisa hopes to find her voice. But she meets Thomas, an Ivy League student whose attentions--and troubled family--upend her pursuits in ways she never imagined possible. As their relationship deepens, Annalisa must balance her dreams against an unexpected love. Until the unraveling of an unforgivable lie. For Annalisa, opening herself up to life and to love is a risk. It might also be the chance she needs to finally become the person and the artist she's meant to be.

The prologue of The Singing Trees by Boo Walker starts in present day 2019. Then it goes back to 1969 and chronologically tells the story of Annalisa Mancuso, a passionate and talented artist trying to find her voice during a very unsettling period in U.S. history and a challenging period of her life. I liked that this story only had the present day story at the beginning and the end.
I was brought to tears more than once while reading. I grew to care about Annalisa and Thomas, her nonna and Walt. What lovely characters they were.
This book is about people loving people in every form, from romantic love to familial love. This was my first Boo Walker novel; won't be my last. ( )
