Under the Mango Trees. The Coral Series, #1

"I've learned one thing for sure. A friend-or an enemy-is not always who we think they are. And it only took me twenty years to figure it out."When Coral, a neglected 12-year-old from a trailer park, meets Rosella, her eccentric, retired neighbor, an unlikely and heartwarming friendship ensues. But as Coral comes of age she discovers there is more to Rosella than meets the eye-and a past she is reluctant to discuss.
Deep grief mingles with an even deeper sense of joy and peace in the older woman. It is a mystery that Coral is determined to unravel.
