Tree Barking: A Memoir - Buy Now!
As a home health therapist working in low-income and often dangerous neighborhoods, debut author Nesta Rovina has seen and heard it all: a stroke victim who learned to roll off her bed at night to avoid getting caught in the crossfire of rival gangs and drug dealers; a man who lived off grass and bugs for a week while fleeing his native Laos; a sixteen-year-old gunshot victim who was left for dead by a man targeting prostitutes; a heroin addict who after having her left hand amputated from frequent injections begins shooting in her right hand. Yet, these stories, as told by Rovina, are also inspirational––giving a voice to her housebound clients, who no matter their circumstances carry on with faith, humor, and kindness. Tree Barking is a beautifully written memoir, which encompasses a subject and rare point-of-view.
