Synopsis

Forest Song: Little Mother continues the narration of Judy Baumann's adventures in the woods. In this volume, Judy reluctantly moves from her teacher's house into a home of her own. She helps the forest denizens hide Jewish refugees fleeing Nazi Germany and in the process finds a new way to relate to her mother, learns to count on and honor her powers, rescues a friend from Dachau, and discovers sexual love. She also learns to cope with loss and to go on in spite of disappointment. In the end she becomes a mother in an unconventional way. A story of trial and healing, this is a beautiful tale of a young woman's coming of age.
