Louisiana's Song

This heartwarming—and heart-wrenching—follow-up to the critically acclaimed Gentle’s Holler continues the saga of the Weems family, bursting at the seams with unforgettable characters, down-home music, and unconditional love. Out of everyone in her family, Louisiana Weems is the shyest and the tallest. Feeling like a “giraffe girl,” she only wants to be left alone to paint while her outgoing sister Livy Two does the talking. But being a Weems doesn’t allow much quiet time. With ten kids running around, Mama and Grandma Horace at each other’s throats, and Daddy still recovering from his car accident, the mountain holler they call home is always noisy. Making ends meet has never been harder, so the older kids get jobs to help out—even Louise finds the courage to sell her paintings to perfect strangers. But when Daddy disappears during a hike up Waterrock Knob—a six thousand-foot-tall mountain—will Louise and Livy Two be brave enough to take charge when the family needs it most?
