Monty feels like the black sheep in her family. A middle child of many in a religious household, she has never felt like she fits in - she is not as attractive as her sisters, is not popular in school, and has differing world views from everyone else. From more chores to stricter house rules, even her own parents treat her like the odd one out. Her only respite in this dull town is spending time with her friends and going for drives on her four-wheeler. However, this is all soon to change, as she will begin to uncover secrets about her family, the church, and those closest to her that will alter her life and view of her small town. Will she be able to help? Will her family come out the other end unscathed? Or will nothing ever be the same again...?
A disturbing, gripping thriller, Under The Elm is a story that explores the true nature of humanity, and just how dark family secrets really can be.

Ivana Christman decisively opened up her computer just after her
fortieth birthday and wrote a story she considered for twenty
years. Her goal was to author a book that was suspenseful,
exhilarating and emotionally gripping. Ivana is an owner and the
President of a management company in the mid-Atlantic where
she can be creative, but with limitation. Writing Under the Elm
was the first chance for her to focus on a passion project without
dictation from the outside world; allowing imagination without
limitation. After many moves, Ivana now lives with her husband
and children back in Indiana, enjoying life's journey.
