World Beneath the Sycamore

In her first book, A Place Called Forever, Rita R. Trafford touched upon the troubled childhood of a six-year-old girl looking for answers to why her childhood wasnt one she could consider as being normal. This book, being a sequel to that story, follows the life of that same child as an adult still dealing with the traumatic reoccurring memories of her childhood. Grace Curry, now a wife and mother of two sons, must find a way to deal with her negative past so she can move on and establish hope for a better future. Some would suggest that Grace is going through an identity crisis, but in all reality, she is merely trying to cope with two different worlds that seem to want to coexist. Grace realizes that she must give up one of those worlds in order to survive in the other. The problem lies in her self-perceived inability to separate the two.
