About The River Has Roots
In Thistleford, the Hawthorn family tends enchanted willows nourished by a river flowing out of Faerie. Sisters Esther and Ysabel have always been inseparable, but Esther’s rejection of a possessive suitor—and her love for someone from Faerie—places their bond and their lives in danger. A lyrical tale of sisterhood, magic, and sacrifice.
