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.
