So at the age of fourteen, he sets out toward the only dream he has ever had: to find land every bit as good as his father's, and make it his own. Once again inspired by her own history, Ms. Taylor brings truth and power to the newest addition to the award-winning Logan family stories. * Readers.will grab this and be astonished by its powerful story.--Booklist, starred review * Taylor's gift for combining history and storytelling is as evident here as in her other stories about the Logan family.--Publishers Weekly, starred review
