The Mango Tree was a book I didn’t know I needed. Annabelle Tometich is from my hometown of Fort Myers, Florida, and she perfectly puts our little town on the map in an honest and lyrical way. All while telling the story of her unique, flawed, and loving family. It starts with a bang and ends with a hug. If you are a memoir reader this is for you.
