The Spoon Tree

by Bria Daly

Abby was very young when she had Laura and Carrie. She raised them by herself, and as best she could. One thing Abby noticed from very early on was that the two girls, who shared a womb and were raised by the same mother, were very different.
From the time they were born they established their uniqueness with their very own sense of fashion, their choice in books, hairstyle, friends, interests, boys, and even food.
They became their own person by fighting their natural yin-yang existence. And even though their actions mostly seemed like an opposite reaction, the sisters both needed and loved each other very much.
When Carrie died, the opposing force in Laura went away, and with it whatever balance Laura extracted from their push-me-pull-you relationship. Carrie’s death affected them all, but her presence was what always made Laura a half as well as a whole.
A Spoon for Laura is the story of Laura after her identical twin sister dies. How she copes, how she finds balance, how she strives to become whole.
It’s about stepping up where she wasn’t needed before, and it’s about learning how to meet half way.

About the author

Bria is a mom, a wife, a sister, a daughter, a friend and an author. She creates strong characters with flaws to make them credible, and does so, because there's no such thing as a perfect body, brain, hair, or personality.
Humor, poking fun, banter, and quick witted dialogue make her characters all the more relatable and help create stories that are heartwarming, funny, sometimes wholesome, and plenty sassy.
Family is most important to Bria. She's been married to the same man for over 30 years, and claims to have the two best kids in the entire world - it's best not to argue with her about that (it can get ugly!).
She has two sisters, loves animals, is a vegan and has always been a great supporter of worthy causes.
Married to a military man, she's lived in Japan, Germany, Argentina, Brazil, Honduras, and seven U.S. states. She tells us that in her first 3 years of marriage she had to move 9 times!
