Song of the Trees
Song of the Trees | Mildred D. Taylor
2 posts | 7 read | 5 to read
Another powerful story in the Logan Family Saga and companion to Mildred D. Taylor's Newbery Award-winning Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry. With the depression bearing down on her family, there isn’t much that Cassie Logan can count on anymore. But there is one thing that hasn’t changed—the whispering trees outside her window. Cassie’s trees, which have stood for centuries, are a great source of comfort to her. But they are also worth a lot of money. With Cassie’s daddy gone to lay tracks for the railroad, it seems like no one can stop Mr. Andersen from forcing Big Ma to sell their valuable trees. How can Cassie sit by and watch them disappear? The beloved heroine of Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry enchants us again in this story of strength and pride. "A triumphant book…A true story truly told."—The New York Times Book Review

Mehso-so

I read Roll of Thunder Hear My Cry years ago and have had some of Taylor‘s others on my tbr for awhile. Apparently I‘m reading out of order. This was a quick audio listen but didn‘t grab me like Roll of Thunder did when I was young. Possibly because it is just a short vignette of the Logan family.
