Dora Minor, a quirky and fiercely courageous girl, grows up in a remote Virginia mountain community in a family of outliers, thanks to their Quaker beliefs that all people are born equal. After her mother's death, her indomitable, pipe-smoking grandmother Alma-a revolutionary in her own right-becomes her primary caregiver and protector. With a fierce moral compass, Alma helps shape Dora's worldview and guides her to question the status quo.
When Dora's father partners with formerly enslaved Ginny Dudley to open a school for Black children in a place where none would otherwise exist, it sparks a violent backlash. After her father's death and then a lynching, Dora, with Alma at her side, are forced to look at their community in a new light. Alongside Ginny's husband Randolph and her closest friend Watcher James, a preacher guided by Nature spirits, Dora confronts hard truths about her neighbors, her father's death, and, finally, the mysteries of her mother's life-all of which ultimately leads to healing.
A post-Civil War novel that opens just as Reconstruction is falling apart, What the Trees Remembered depicts a time of extreme social unrest and the birth of the Jim Crow era as experienced by strong women constrained by the limitations of the time they live in. Through the devastating loss of loved ones, the destruction of the comfortable life they've known, and Nature's wrath, Dora and Alma strive to rise above their trials by drawing strength from the natural world and never losing faith in themselves.
