Dawn Davis

The Tree of Life by Dawn Davis is her debut novel. It is part of a series, but does stand alone. Each book will represent new characters and a different time period in Canda’s history.

The Tree of Life starts in 1999 but spends most of its time in 1939. It is a fun and lively adventure through time with Charlotte as she strives to solve the mystery of the missing brooch, The Tree of Life. She lives the history she has been taught.

Charlotte is a precocious 11 year old girl. She is headstrong and some think she acts like a know it all. She is always getting Henry, her best friend, in trouble, bossing him around.

She will learn first hand about the wealthy, discrimination, and hard work.

Gwendolyn is prim and proper, a perfect example of the snobbish and haughty air of the privileged.

I feel this is a very creative way to write a coming of age story. A heartwarming story of life – its rights and wrongs, its hopes and dreams, its wants and desires, its loves and loss…

There are no bells and whistles, no blood and guts of the thriller and horror novels I love, but a wonderful story just the same.
