What readers are saying.

"There's a gentleness to this book that sneaks up on you. By the end I felt seen in a way I hadn't expected." 

"Leah doesn't tell you how to be resilient. She shows you what it actually looks like — messy, quiet, and deeply human."

"I kept stopping to underline things. This book is going to live on my nightstand for a long time." 

"Reading this felt like permission. Permission to stop bracing and start breathing." 

 "The kind of book you give to someone who is going through it — and to yourself, for when you are too." 

 "Swaying With the Trees is a quiet revolution. Leah Kalish is the real thing."
