Echo Mountain by Lauren Wolk
When the Great Depression takes almost everything they own, Ellie's family is forced to leave their home in town and start over in the untamed forests of nearby Echo Mountain. Ellie has found a welcome freedom and a love of the natural world in her new life on the mountain. But there is little joy, even for Ellie, as her family struggles with the aftermath of an accident that has left her father in a coma. An accident unfairly blamed on Ellie.
Determined to help her father, Ellie will make her way to the top of the mountain in search of the healing secrets of a woman known only as "the hag." But the hag and the mountain still have many untold stories left to reveal, and with them, a fresh chance at happiness.
Echo Mountain is a celebration of finding your own path and becoming your truest self. Wolk weaves a stunning tale of resilience, persistence, and friendship across three generations of families set against the rough and ragged beauty of the mountain they call home.
