Introducing Joshua's Tree, a powerful coming-of-age story, by Leah Martin, that follows a spunky, schoolgirl who will completely capture your heart -- and her older, valorous brother and life-long hero, Joshua.

Come along on this deliciously-written, modern-day parable that describes the daring exploits of these siblings as they are being raised on their farm in the Western US and then unexpectedly plopped into a new life in Africa.

Before long, Joshua and his sister encounter African neighbors, who embody both the most loyal of friends and the most fearsome of foes. Africa influences the children’s lives in ways that change the very essence of their souls.

As the children grow into adulthood, their childhood adventures will provide a profound backdrop for later life-and-death matters of love, sacrifice, envy, resentment, betrayal and redemption.

Joshua's Tree is also an allegory -- a hidden treasure-trove of subtle metaphoric themes await your discovery!

You are invited to be the first to take a sneak peek at CHAPTERS 1-5.
