From the inside book jacket:
"Dreaming is a lost cause for a girl in the valley," Mama tell Isadora. Still, when 12 year old Isadora dances under the chinaberry tree, her dreams go far beyond the valley.
Isadora is not the only dreamer in the valley; there are the gentle Maybelle Leeper, kindly, nearsighted Miz Lincoln, even ornery Haskell Moore. But then the Revival comes to town. Dreams are put away as the winds of hypocrisy tear at the tiny valley, pitting family against family and testing the very real bonds of friendship and love.
