The story behind Twig by Skottie Young and Kyle Strahm is almost as interesting as the book itself. I have tried for about two years now to read it. I have had a few online reader copies, tried to order it, and other reasons kept piling up as to why I was unable to read. Finally I said, “Hello Library?
