About the author

Lola R. Opeyemi is the author of Wrap me in Trees, a book about family, love and survival.

Torn apart by poverty and austerity in their home country, the Alejo family becomes divided across two continents for six years. Can this close-knit family reunite and make things work or will their forced expatriation drive them apart forever?

More than immigration, Wrap me in Trees is a story about grace, hope and forgiveness and what it means to walk the line of an immigrant.
