Far from the Tree Audiobook Summary

National Book Award Winner, PEN America Award Winner, and New York Times Bestseller!

Perfect for fans of This Is Us, Robin Benway’s beautiful interweaving story of three very different teenagers connected by blood explores the meaning of family in all its forms–how to find it, how to keep it, and how to love it.

Being the middle child has its ups and downs.

But for Grace, an only child who was adopted at birth, discovering that she is a middle child is a different ride altogether. After putting her own baby up for adoption, she goes looking for her biological family, including–

Maya, her loudmouthed younger bio sister, who has a lot to say about their newfound family ties. Having grown up the snarky brunette in a house full of chipper redheads, she’s quick to search for traces of herself among these not-quite-strangers. And when her adopted family’s long-buried problems begin to explode to the surface, Maya can’t help but wonder where exactly it is that she belongs.

And Joaquin, their stoic older bio brother, who has no interest in bonding over their shared biological mother. After seventeen years in the foster care system, he’s learned that there are no heroes, and secrets and fears are best kept close to the vest, where they can’t hurt anyone but him.

Don’t miss this moving novel that addresses such important topics as adoption, teen pregnancy, and foster care.

What an absolutely amazing contemporary novel. I am truly BLOWN AWAY by how fantastic this story is. I would recommend it to absolutely everyone.CW: teen pregnancy, adoption, foster care system, alcoholismI don't feel I even have the words to express how fantastic this book is. It is touching, emotional, heart-warming and heart-wrenching at the exact same time. Far From The Tree is one of those books that causes you to have a weight on your chest the entire time you are reading. I cried from sadness and happiness all throughout the novel. This novel is absolutely at the top of my recommendations list to anyone interested in serious contemporaries. One of my absolute new faves.

4.5* This was so well done! The writing was great and I truly felt for the characters and their struggles. I will admit I did struggle a bit with a suspension of disbelief just in regards to the fact that the mother had 3 kids in a very short period of time when she was extremely young. But, that was a very minor thing. Overall I thought this book was really good!

🌟full review posted on blog!4 1/2 stars. That was... unexpected. Far From the Tree is an exploration of family, the one you find and the one you're born into. Great concept, right? But I definitely did not guess just how good this would be. A story like this is one that can only succeed based off stellar character work, and my expectations for character work in contemporary is often quite low. But this was so lovely.This book revolves around three siblings, each with their own conflicts. 🌹Grace has recently given birth and put a girl up for adoption. Ostracized at school and by her ex-boyfriend, she’s trying to fit in. 🍁 Maya is living with divorcing parents and a dysfunctional home situation. And also her first girlfriend. 🍃Joaquin is a foster child trying to decide whether to trust his maybe adoptees. And guess what: I loved all three of them. I don’t want to give away much about this book, because it’s one best experienced. But if I were to sum this book up, it feels so personal . With such fantastic characters, the friendship and family element totally stands out. The older she got, the more human her parents seemed, and that was one of the scariest things in the world. She missed being little, when they were the all-knowing gods of her world, but at the same time, seeing them as human made it easier to see herself that way, too. Oh, and I love the representations of being adopted. It's amazing. And I adore the way Maya is represented as a gay girl. It turns out she wasn't the only gay kid at school, and she was never harassed or teased - but she found she didn't know how to be affectionate with friends. Would they think sh was hitting on them if she just hugged them hello? Would she make it weird just by being herself? It hadn't mattered with Lauren, but at her new school, Maya found herself holding back, using sarcasm as affectionate until it became habit, until it became who she was. This book feels so personal, and so emotional, but also so hopeful. It’s the perfect tone for this kind of story. Would highly, highly recommend. Blog | Goodreads | Twitter | Youtube

families come in various shapes, sizes, colours, personalities, and dynamics. no two families are the same and thats what makes them so wonderful. this book is a perfect example of that. this is a story about three biological siblings who are separated into different homes/paths as infants and later reconnect once they discover each others existence. and reading about the desperate longing these siblings have for each other, as well as their desire to meet and grow into a family, it made realise how much i take my own family for granted. the overwhelming love and support and hope that radiates off of the pages of this book is so just wholesome. its true that no family is perfect, but this story so beautifully portrays how a family can feel like the perfect home. and sometimes family just really means those you love and who love you in return. its the people who support us, comfort us, teach us, are honest with us, and help us, regardless if they are genetically related or not. in essence, family is what you make it, no matter how far from the tree. ↠ 4 stars

5 stars “It took us fifteen years to find each other, but we still did! And sometimes, family hurts each other. But after that's done you bandage each other up, and you move on. Together. You've got us now, like it or not, and we've got you.” 
This book couldn’t have been more perfect for me. It had the absolute best family dynamic and gave me all the feels. This story moved me. It was inspirational and so so good. Far from the Tree starts out with sixteen year old Grace who just gave birth to her own little girl. It was an impossible decision to make, but Grace decided to give her baby up to a loving family who could take care of her and give her the life she deserved. This made Grace start questioning who she is and where she comes from. She talked to her parents and decided it was time. Time for her to look for her own birth mother. 

Grace was adopted as a baby and has grown up as an only child, but soon she finds out she has an older brother, Joaquin, who is seventeen, and a younger sister, Maya, who is fifteen. Maya, like Grace, was adopted as a baby, but Joaquin never was. I loved getting the perspective of all three siblings. All of their lives and stories were so different and the way it came together was so beautiful. 
All the siblings stories were great and had something real and raw, but Joaquin’s story, especially broke my heart. By the end, I was crying buckets but they were mostly happy tears. I just loved this family. I listened to this book in audio format and it was narrated by Julia Whelan who does an incredible job voicing all of these characters. Far from the Tree is very much a family focused book. It’s about adoption, birth families, and how family is family and it’s all the same because it’s all love. This was such an amazing book for me. It’s a contemporary YA with little to no romance, and that was perfectly fine with me. It was flawless just the way it was. I can’t recommend this book enough, I’m sure it will be making my top favorites read in 2019!

Library overdrive Audiobook...narrated by Julia Whelan...... .......Julia is a ‘book-reading-pro’!!! I’d go out of my way to listen to books read by her. She’s really terrific....making each character come ALIVE with very distinct personalities. I completely agree with the publishers summary of this National Book Award Winner.... “Perfect for fans of NBC’s “THIS IS US”, ( I am a fan), Robin Benway’s beautiful interweaving story of three very different teenagers connected by blood explores the meaning of family in all its forms - how to find it, keep it, and how to love it.”I can’t stress enough how WONDERFUL THIS AUDIOBOOK WAS. There are already many other beautiful reviews....Hannah Greendale, Larry H, Suzanne, Ken, Susan, Maria, Gina, Andrea, Nicole, Rachel, Jenifer, Jessie, Sarah, Vicki, Julie, etc. ......I enjoyed them all.....So, I want to simply add I loved LISTENING to this story. The narrator was so good -I picked up feelings from every sigh and cough. I laughed and I cried.......( definitely cried with Joaquin once) - I rolled my eyes - with Maya a few times, and was incredibly heartbroken for Grace and Joaquin in different ways. I felt sadness for Maya too - but kinda different - I felt she was a little more resilient. I loved Grace, Maya, and Joaquin. All of them are Permanente Book Friends living inside me!!! I REALLY THINK MOST OF MY GIRLFRIENDS WOULD *LOVE* THESE CHARACTERS - guys too- AND THE AUDIOBOOK IS TERRIFICALLY ENGROSSING!!!Maya kept me laughing. I needed her sarcastic personality- and cherished it for tension relief. I could just imagine driving a car with her in the passenger seat....she would be giving me hell for driving too slow and listening to old lady radio stations: NPR...lol....**LARRY H**: you are soooo right - BONDING OVER Condiments/ mayonnaise.... was soooooo CHARMING!! Why do we get teary in these moments? Laughing and crying!I was soaking in our pool listening to that scene. Loved it. My first cousin, Shelley was adopted. A year later Holly was born, then Karen, then Moses. I was very close to all 4 of my cousins growing up: them living in a mansion in Piedmont - but I’ve stayed especially close to Shelley during our adult years....yet I haven’t talked to her or any of my cousins for over a year. So now I feel sad about it. I promise to call my cousin this week!!! Not much else to add - other than this is a BEAUTIFUL BOOK! Heartfelt ....heartfelt.....heartfelt!!!

reread #1: i’m honestly in tears. like i can’t even explain how good this book is. I LOVE IT SO MUCH. and it’s saving my reading challenge so yeet 5 stars ✨ "Seventeen years is a long time to wait for a family." I can't express in words how much I loved this book. It was just what I needed, everything I wanted and so much more . It's been a loooong time since I've had a 5 star read (actually, I think this is my first 5 star of 2018? correct me if I'm wrong? but yay?).When I say I love contemporary, or whenever I get the need to read contemporary books this is what I'm talking about. This is the feeling I crave for when I'm done with reading fantasy or dystopian novels, or have just recovered from a slump, or a really bad book. Seriously, this was so freaking good & please let the author release more books. Maybe pt. 2 of this book would be nice. like REALLY NICE. "Far from the Tree" is a book oriented mainly around family, loss, acceptance, and so much more. & everything was executed so so so well, in the most perfect of ways. this is one of the books that made my heart feel heavy and sad and depressed but also gave me such happiness? how is this possible? Grace🌷 first of all, what a powerful story. Grace and her character,,, it was everything. her maturity level combined with her easy going personality just had me screaming at the top of my lungs that WE NEED MORE CHARACTERS LIKE GRACE IN THIS WORLD. her story is one of teen pregnancy and the struggles of giving up your child for adoption. but the twist is that she's adopted herself, so it's no surprise that after going through the whole experience herself, she asks her foster parents to tell her everything they know about her biological mom. all of her scenes blew me away and hurt my heart. IT WAS SO GOOD. holy, I'm still getting over how sad I was/am. I felt the authenticity of everything going through her head, the struggles she was facing. & it doesn't help that while she was giving birth, the baby's father was getting crowned homecoming king. yeah. that's all you need to know about Max. he's a douche. Maya🌹 maya is crazy, relatable, funny (and can we just thank the author for lgbtq rep in the most natural way?) I loved her considerably less than the others, mainly because I couldn't connect to her character as much. (view spoiler)[ tbh i wish she didn't get back w claire but that's fine (hide spoiler)]her foster parents are getting a divorce. her mom has a drinking problem. she's like a machine of anger and love and wonder. SO MUCH LOVE Joaquin 🌿 There was no one to take a picture of him standing under the blue ribbon that someone had pinned to his drawing at the school's art fair in fourth grade, or to drive him to that one birthday party across town in fifth....He still had that blue ribbon, though. He kept it buried at the back of his sock drawer, its edges frayed from the eighteen months that Joaquin had slept with it under his pillow. I have to say, he was my favorite character and he was the reason I kept breaking apart when reading. I just wanted to give the poor boy happiness and wanted to see him joyful and wanted him to love himself so badly. I'm close to weeping just writing this. Such a well-crafted character. Let me just tell you, too, he's a sweetheart. & I loved him. & this is why I wish I had an older brother. He hadn't realized it until he said it, but Joaquin thought that if anyone had ever hurt either one of these girls, he would grind them to dust. This was so freaking powerful, let me just tell you this was AFTER LIKE ONE MEETING I THINK and he was ready to do anything to protect his sisters & it just comes to show how deep these bonds connecting family are. & it also comes to show how amazing Joaquin is. his story deals with foster care, travelling from house to house but never finding a home. He's been adopted once, but that didn't work well, and he's been in the foster care system all his life. naturally, he's unwilling to trust anyone., which broke my heart. & I wish he could get his childhood back so he can be loved. but his story is so raw and enduring and beautiful. WOW OKAY SO CAN I JUST MENTION ONE MORE TIME THAT I LOVE JOAQUIN OK ADIOS (view spoiler)[ him and Birdie, on the other hand? nuh-uh. it’s a no from me. (hide spoiler)] Rafe🍂 He may have taken some warming up to, but I loved him. Let me just insert the quote that confirmed my love for him; "It has pockets," Grace said. "That's always nice." "It is." Rafe said, then stuck his hand in the front pocket and flapped it a little. "Room for all my secrets. Sorry, that's me attempting humor again, in case you couldn't tell. he was the bright spot in Grace's life, and so funny and cute and adorable. I thought this would be a case of rebounds and insta-love but it sure wasn't. (view spoiler)[ I do wish that at the ending, there was a better wrap up of their relationship, and I would have LOVED a platonic relationship. (hide spoiler)]Here's another joke from him cause why not, "I just... I'm not really looking to hook up with or date anyone right now, okay? I don't want to." Rafe : "Woah, woah, woah." ... "Who said anything about hooking up or dating? I said yogourt. They don't even rhyme! And later on, Grace tells him this again, and he's all like; "Okay, honestly, Grace? Why do you keep insisting that I'm trying to date you? This is sexual harassment, that's what this is. In my place of employment, even." love him. just in general, this book covered family so well. Like please, please, please go read it. This is me begging. For you. To read it. "Well, she's kind of annoying." Grace said. She hadn't even known it was true until she said it. "She kept interrupting me, she only talked about herself, and she was sort of rude, too, honestly.". "Honey?" Grace's mom said. "Yeah." "Welcome to having a sister." Like how much more accurate and loving is this going to get?? HOW MUCH MORE?Family hurts. But family also puts you back together. And I loved that the author just stressed that blood relationships mean a lot; but other relationships mean a lot, too. let's just count the number of times I've used the word "love" in this review like damn my heart I though this book was not going to end well. I mean, I was just like, everything's getting wrapped up way too quick and what?????? BUT THAT ENDING. OMG. OMG. OMG. PULLED THRU LIKE NOTHING ELSE EVER HAS(view spoiler)[ finding out about their bio mom was also ... predictable?? But I overlooked it. because I loved this book. so much. (hide spoiler)] I don't want to say much more, because I don't want to spoil anything or give away too much. But seriously, read this. the cover is beautiful, the book is beautiful... & then message me so we can cry together.

Very well done book addressing adoption and family. When you hear the word family, what does it mean to you. After this, you may be asking yourself the same question and the answer might surprise you.I thought the characters in this book we're great. In the middle of reading, my book club had a discussion about the characters and how we connected to them. It was interesting to see how we all approached them differently and how what might appeal about one character to me was a turn off for another reader. When the author can make you feel this way about the characters, they have definitely done their job.Overall, I am very pleased. It is not the most complex book which may turn some readers away, but it is far from simple. I thought it the perfect mix of YA "twee-ness" and tough life questions. I especially felt deep in my own soul the anxiety the three main characters felt as they searched for answers and tried to make the right moves in the chess match of life.Anyone from teen to adult, if you like a good story, check it out!

unexpectedly beautifuli requested this audiobook from my library on a whim and honestly had no clue what to expect. as gorgeous as the cover is, i think 5-10 books were published with similar covers around that time (nicola yoon etc) so for some reason i thought this was going to be a love story.imagine my surprise when chapter 1 opens with a teenager giving birth. this is a story about adoption, found families, and LOVE. this book came to me at the perfect time as i am starting to figure out what sort of family i want for myself (getting old is weird y'all). it reaffirmed thoughts i've been having since i was like 7 years old, and that was exactly what i needed.as i was listening to this, i kept thinking to myself "this is so perfectly plotted and executed" and "i want to be able to write like this." it's a harder hitting contemporary that never stoops to 'this is us' type manufactured angst. the characters feel real and i FELT for them.i own a physical copy of this book, and so often when i'm done reading an audio for a book i physically own i have to make the decision of keeping or unhauling. but i intend on keeping this one forever.

What a wonderful story. Truly refreshing to read a novel that seems to capture a specific experience but makes it feel universal. Benway crafts characters that feel vivid and real. I was immediately captivated by their stories and then fell in love with them as the stories progressed.Far from the Tree follows Grace, Maya and Joaquin. They are biological half-siblings who do not realize the others exist as they were adopted or fostered to separate families after being born. We start out with Grace, a 16-year old girl who is about to give birth to her own daughter and then put her up for adoption. Then we jump to Maya who is struggling with difficult family dynamics including parents on the cusp of divorce and an alcoholic mother. Finally, we meet Joaquin who has been moved from foster family to foster family throughout his 18 years of life, but ultimately lands in a good home with Mark & Linda—though the trauma from his past has not left him.The 3 characters' lives intertwine to tell a story of belonging and hope and love, that family sometimes is the people you choose more than the one you are born into. This is a book that will make you laugh and cry and *feel*. I got shivers at times from scenes that reached in and tapped a nerve or tugged a heartstring, even though my lived experiences are vastly different from these characters. Benway captures something on the page that we all feel or have felt at one point in our lives: the need to be accepted, chosen, loved.

“it took us fifteen years to find each other, but we still did! and sometimes, family hurts each other. but after that’s done you bandage each other up, and you move on. together. you’ve got us now, like it or not, and we’ve got you.” beforehand, i genuinely didn’t know what to expect from this book. at the end of last year, i did a huge unhaul kinda thing of my ebooks because i owned sO many that i still wouldn’t be done with them in 7 years and would not be able to get to my physical tbr or new releases. this book was supposed to be one of them, and i am so glad that that wasn’t the case in the end.almost all of my goodreads friends gave this book 5, or really good 4, stars and i thought to myself that i should be loving it as well then. the premise was really intriguing but vage and even about a hundred pages into the novel i still wasn’t quite sure. like, what was the purpose? what does it try to achieve? what is it trying to tell us? just tell a bunch of stories from three points of views and call it a day? nevertheless, it was really light, easy and fast to read so i didn’t give up on it. i also couldn’t connect to any of the protagonists in the beginning though. sure, i liked them, but i didn’t FEEL anything towards them and that’s kind of something i need to really love a story. and oh boy, how drastically that changed.the last half was SO GOOD!!! i feel like i really can’t get much into it without spoiling so i’ll put that stuff at the end, but i like how we finally got some actual plot and the characters were developed so so well in the course of the story. their character traits were something that i really enjoyed reading about and i immediately felt myself drawn to every single one of them, attached and not able to let go.audiobook misc: because i like to read contemporaries as audiobooks, i got the audio for this one but i’m kind of disappointed at the fact that this story was told in three different perspectives, yet we didn’t get three different narrators for the protagonists WHAT A WASTE. that especially was obvious for joaquin’s chapters because i didn’t really connect to him in the beginning before i really got into the story and feel like that would’ve been more the case if his narrator had been a guy and not a white woman (who still did a good job though).spoilery stuff:(view spoiler)[the storyline about joaquin having a fight with mark and linda on the day he was supposed to try looking for their bio mom with maya and grace was sooo incredibly great! when maya yelled at joaquin that they’re a family now even though they might have been apart for so long, oh how i love her for that. the entire conversation that the three of them had with jessica about melissa and their respective dads was so heartwarming and emotional and when jessica says that they all need a box of tissues now… girl same??? i really was BAWLING at that point. and it got even worse??? like when joaquin pulled up into the driveway and mark and linda were really worried about him and they all hugged and he called them mom and dad and said that his parents never let him go i… help. i am sososo glad they adopted him and love him for who he is because he’s so precious and deserves all the love and happiness in the world.

You can read this and all of my reviews at Lit·Wit·Wine·Dine. Far From the Tree took me far out of my comfort zone in the most excellent way! It’s only the second audiobook I’ve listen to till the very end and it’s YA.Here’s what I loved:The Characters – Grace, Maya, and Joaquin were well-developed characters to love. They’re all basically good kids carrying more baggage than most adults could bear. Some of their baggage is shared and some is very specific to the character.The Story – There’s a lot going on here but it all blends seamlessly. Themes explored include teen pregnancy, racism, family dynamics, bullying, and behavioral health and substance abuse issues. Yes, lots of heavy stuff! Yet throughout there’s an underlying sense of hope and healing.The Feels – As you might guess from reading the above, this is a very emotional read. Sadness, despair, joy, fear, etc. All the feels are there! Be prepared for teary eyes.The Writing/Narration – I can’t speak to how it would be to read this in print but the language was very easy to listen to. The narrator, Julia Whelan did a fantastic job giving each character a very specific voice.The Takeaway – Far From the Tree is a beautiful story. It’s YA that’s perfect for readers of adult literary fiction.
