Synopsis
TREE OF LIFE is a story of freedom and friendship on the Kentucky frontier. Third in the Pleasant Hill series of books about children in a 19th Century Shaker community, this volume is authored by Rebecca Mitchell Turney as a solo effort. (In the series' previous two books, Turney had collaborated with Marie Mitchell, whose prior contributions are credited in this book's acknowledgments.) Series illustrator Pam Dixon has again added her unique eye to this project, as she did with the first two volumes in this history-based fiction series for MotesBooks' Think Young Collection. SYNOPSIS ... Grace, at 15, is feeling the pinch of the simple Shaker life in 1839. She longs for the feathered hats, pretty petticoats, and dressy life of "the World" outside her isolated village at Pleasant Hill. But the Sisters insist she churn out plain, boring, everyday cloth at a weaving loom. She enlists the help of a forbidden boyfriend in a bold plot to escape the stifling rules of the Shakers. She secretly weaves a colorful silk scarf to enter in the upcoming county fair contest. The prize money will buy her ticket to freedom on the next stagecoach to the bustling big city. Her plan is foolproof. Nothing is going to stand in her way- except the one thing Grace couldn't possibly have imagined. ~ (www.MotesBooks.com) ~
