Old Mary Ann has done her best to bring up her son on her own. Like other relatives, her son has a longing to travel off over the mountains. Mary Ann goes with him. Later on her son marries, but loses his wife after she gives birth to their son. Mary Ann assumes responsibility of her grandson, while her son moves away in the agony of his grief. This is the story of what happens to her grandson and where his Grandmother, the songs of the birds, and his faith leads him.
ve, the whole song that his grandmother had taught him:

Last night Summer breezes blew:—
All the flowers awake anew,
Open wide their eyes to see,
Nodding, bowing in their glee.

All the merry birds we hear
Greet the sunshine bright and clear;
See them flitting thru the sky,

Songsters, all so blithe and gay,

"Yes, yes, that is the finch, Sami," she replied. "See, he wants to impress it upon you, so that you will think about what will always keep you safe and happy. Just listen, now, he is calling again: Trust! trust! trust! trust! trust! Only trust the dear Lord."

Sami listened again. It was really wonderful, how the finch always sounded above the other birds with his emphatic "Trust! trust! trust!" "You must never forget what the finch calls," continued the grandmother. "See, Sami, perhaps I cannot stay with you much longer, and then you will have no one else, and will have to make your way alone. Then the little bird's song can oftentimes be a comfort to you. So don't forget it, and promise me too that you will say your littl

eponymous-ey sentence:
p12: "...Whoever lives so before Him has no reason to fear what may happen to him, for such a man has the dear Lord's help everywhere, and if he has to meet hardship oftentimes, he knows that the dear Lord allows it so, in order that some good may come out of it for him, and th

An easy read with many reminders to pray and to trust the Lord. While it was a little too "pie in the sky" for me, for a Christian family looking to teach important moral values -- especially, "Do not lie!" -- this story of faith is for them.

I highlighted one passage that explains the story quite we

Excited to have discovered another book by the author of Heidi. This was a sweet tale of a young boy who lives with his grandmother in the mountains between France and Germany-- until his grandmother dies and his trials begin.
