Wishing on the sunrise from her treetop refuge, eleven year-old Kyleah Ralston seeks magic to right all that is wrong in her life. Her twin brother is lost to her, and she believes that her father abandoned her because she isn't pretty enough. To add to her woes, her foster family doesn't understand her. When she is banned from climbing her favorite tree, she agrees to join Benjamin, her older foster-brother in his scheme to run away.
      Kyleah and Benjamin encounter many narrow escapes and breath-taking adventures on their journey from rural south-east Kansas to Moose Jaw, Canada.
       Through it all, Kyleah learns self-acceptance and the true meaning of home and family that has more to do with love than bloodlines.

Kyleah's Tree is the first of a trilogy. The second, Kendall's Storm, is her brother's story, and the third will bringthem together with the challenges of reconnecting after years of separation, and solving both old and new dilemmas as the team nature intended them to be.
