It starts with 8 yr old Alix on a mission to save 10 yr old Nick. What begins as an act of pity immediately turns into friendship and eventually love for all time. Allred does a wonderful job taking you through the years of Alix and Nick's beginning, their separation then Nick's return. Their story is sweet, passionate, tragic, heartbreaking and redeeming.

If you're looking for a story that will pull on your heart strings then I recommend The Sweet Gum Tree. I can honestly say I will always cherish this book.
