DESCRIPTION:
Lili's novel is a story of personal spirit, a story of a childhood lived creatively and courageously, and a story about the human will to persevere against overwhelming odds.. A writer, from the age of five, when she was a little girl surrounded by extreme poverty, superstition, and brutality. Crying Mountain depicts a young girl's journey through a devastating hurricane captured in diary kept when she was eight years old
Jean W. said A must-read book. Lily Dauphin's "Crying Mountain" is unlike any book I've read. You become so close to her child--in the hurricane, in her mountain cabin, her thoughts--like a twin sister. She is so lovable, you want to take her in your arms and hold her. She is one with all nature--the mountain, animals, trees, even the hurricane. Do yourself a favor and read this story of a very exceptional child.. "Book lover" according to G. Maski. I read Crying Mountain the first edition and was curious about the second edition and read it. I like it a lot. a lot. I enjoy the small details added to the second edition. I love the foreword by the author and I also enjoyed the pictures. Highly recommended.. "GREAT NEW BOOK" according to Philleen Meskin.
