Based on the life and experiences of author Cassandra L Welch, 'A Tree with Only One Leaf: Multiple Vertices Connected By One Path' masterfully blends fact with fiction in what is the start of twelve short stories set to educate a generation about not only Welch's achievements, but also illuminate the civil rights movement in a way never done before. Follow heroine Emily Richardson as she comes of age and rapidly learns to overachieve - skills that will eventually prepare her to take on a Fortune 500 company in one of modern-day America's most defining racial discrimination lawsuits.

Emily learns many things during her journey, just as we all do. Chief among them is that there really is no formula for living the life she secretly dreams about; however, if she simply accepts and welcomes life, bathing it in faith, prayer and perseverance, that life will reveal itself to her.

Take this delightful walk with her,and through these words on a page, you will experience the joyful triumphs and the ever-failing fears as Emily allows her faith and the Universe to show her the way.
