At the Mountain's Base

<b>A family separated by duty and distance waits for a loved one to return home in this lyrical picture book celebrating the bonds of a Cherokee family and the bravery of history-making women pilots.</b> <p/>At the mountain's base sits a cabin under an old hickory tree. And in that cabin lives a family -- loving weaving cooking and singing. The strength in their song sustains them through trials on the ground and in the sky as they wait for their loved one a pilot to return from war. <p/>With an author's note that pays homage to the true history of Native American U.S. service members like WWII pilot Ola Mildred Millie Rexroat this is a story that reveals the roots that ground us the dreams that help us soar and the people and traditions that hold us up.
