If you are struggling, you are not alone-help is always available. 💚 --- Under the Willow Tree Maxine Baker is known for her dramatic flair, her fast-talking confidence, and her magnetic presence-at least, she used to be. After a summer spent in silence, hidden away from friends who barely noticed she was gone, Max returns to school carrying more than just secrets beneath her hoodie sleeves. While her old friends gossip under the Berry Tree, Max finds comfort in an unexpected place: the quiet shade of the Willow Tree and a girl named Liz-sarcastic, guarded, and exactly what Max didn't know she needed. A story about pain, recovery, being seen, and letting someone in-even when it's hard.
