About the Book

Deep within the piney forests of central Louisiana, three children learn that life amid the turpentine and lumber camps they call home is not what defines who they are, or who they will become as adults. In the early 1900s, Louisiana's forests were home to hard working men who made turpentine from the piney lumber by day, and then went home to the clapboard houses in company camps set up around the sawmills. If they were lucky, they had families waiting for them when they got there. The Bottle Tree is a gripping account of life in a turpentine camp for three resilient families and their children, who must face this harsh environment in order to survive. Leesie, Johnny, and Caleb endure many of the same hardships as their parents, but once their bond is forged, the trio takes a stand against one of the camp's most common problems: the struggle with racism. While the segregated camp feeds adult insecurities, Leesie and Caleb befriend Johnny and begin teaching each other that racial divides are fabricated by ignorance and fear; two qualities each child refuses to possess. The Bottle Tree will make you laugh and cry and leave you entertained.

About the Author :
Robert Bennett was born in Louisiana and spent his childhood there and in Texas. His diverse work history has taken him across the United States, Mexico and the Caribbean as well as England, and his books are shaped by the people he has known and the places he has visited. "If I write about a place, it's because I've visited there and either the place or the people left an impression", Bennett said when asked about the inspirations for his books. He currently resides in Texas with his wife Karren and his Jack Russell Terrier "Sup" and occasionally his twin sons as they return from college on breaks and his daughter and her fiance when they visit. Look for additional works coming soon in the "Junebug" and "Noah Chance" series. Read more about Robert at his website, www.RobertDBennett.com or follow him on Twitter as RobertTheWriter.
