"Once again Oma Boyd ('Round This Mountain) has captured the spirit and the soul of the mountains and its people. Through the story of Dandelion (Dandy), a foundling, we relive mountain living in days gone by: the barn frolic, the arrival of the mail order catalog, the traveling preacher. But, above all else, we develop with Dandy that sense of home, that sense of place-that characteristic held so deeply by mountain people."
