City in a Forest
Literary Women’s Fiction
by Ginger Pinholster
Hidden in the heart of Atlanta, a pristine forest shimmers with magic, but an unscrupulous developer plans to flatten Silver Park—unless two brave women can stop him. Arden Collier risks losing her home. Parker Gozer owns most of Arden’s secret forest, which is rooted in Atlanta’s rich African-American history. As Arden struggles to reclaim her artistic voice, Parker confronts the man who once preyed upon her—and now wants to spoil a rare urban oasis. Both women fight to protect the place that has tangled itself around their hearts like flowering kudzu vines, achingly sweet as a beloved child.
REVIEW
5 out of 5
This was a beautiful, touching story about friendship, finding your voice, nature, and greed. Pinholster did an excellent job bringing the characters to life, and letting the reader get to know Arden and Parker intimately, as if they were your own old friends. I loved how vivid the imagery is, it was like stepping right into the pages of the book. The plot moves along smoothly, and will evoke some strong emotions along the way. Highly recommend for anyone who enjoys literary or women’s fiction.
