But in time, and with her courageous spirit, she learns to find the joy in life again. 'Like The Willow Tree' is the story of Lydia Amelia Pierce, an 11-year-old who is orphaned when her parents die in the 1918 Spanish flu epidemic and is sent to live, along with her older. Now separated from her beloved brother, for men and women do not mix in this community, Lydia must adjust to many changes. Thrust into the Shakers' unfamiliar way of life, Lydia must grapple with a new world that is nothing like the one she used to know. Suddenly orphaned by the Spanish flu epidemic in the fall of 1918, eleven-year-old Lydia Pierce and her fourteen-year-old brother, Daniel, of Portland, Maine, are taken by their uncle to be raised in the Shaker community at Sabbathday Lake. Two-time Newbery Award-winning author Lois Lowry brings a brand-new, beautiful diary to the Dear America series!
