The little girl, who goes by more than one name, is precocious, whip-smart, and painfully vulnerable. Right away, we see that Jo and the little girl need each other very much, yet so much is unknown about the girl’s history that we can’t be certain if she and Jo should continue on the path they’re taking. The first few chapters of this book were the most intriguing I’ve read in a long time. When a barefoot child starts hanging around Jo’s cabin, Jo enlists the help of her reclusive neighbor. After her mother passes away, Jo regroups and returns to rural Illinois to pick up where she left off on her research. The story’s protagonist, Joanna “Jo” Teale, is a down-to-earth graduate student studying birds and an unflappable cancer survivor. In Where The Forest Meets The Stars, author Glendy Vanderah presents characters to readers as clearly as if we were meeting each other in person.

Vest recalls how Walter playing chess with himself-that by switching chairs, as he told her, "the psyche confronts itself.” He goes on: "The mind must be spoken to, Vesta, otherwise it starts to atrophy.” Vesta doesn't buy it: "But if the mind talks to itself … isn’t it just saying what it wants to hear?” Is Vesta suggesting that our attempts to understand our own lives and selves are simply efforts in delusion or illusion?
