In The Tall Trees
by Angel Van Atta
“I love it when Daddy makes me feel like this. Like he loves me all the way and would never leave us alone out here. Like I’m special and he loves me most out of all his children. Even the unsecret ones.”
Well I didn’t expect to bawl my eyes out reading this, but I did…. A few times. So get your Kleenex handy for this story!
It’s a horrifying tale, showing the monsters that hide within other people. Mella is a child that must become a hero and face her fears. The lives of her mother and brother depend on it.
I was completely invested in this story from page 1 and couldn’t stop until the end. It was sickening to read a lot of scenes with “Daddy” in them, but Mella and her mother did find moments of joy in the darkness. I loved poor, sweet Petey as well. I just wanted to grab the three of them and protect them from Charlie.
The afterword by the author is very moving as well, and you can see through the writing that Angel poured her heart and soul into this work. Many hugs to you, I can’t imagine that this was easy to write.
