Summary
Thirteen-year-old Joelle has always wondered about her life before being adopted by the woman she calls Aunt Louise and her husband Vernon, and she makes some surprising discoveries while researching a seventeenth-century Indian tribe.
Amazon.com description: Product Description: A New York Times Bestselling Author
A Newbery Honor and Scott O'Dell Award-winning Author

About Joelle's life before she was found as a scrawny five-year-old, there isn't a lot known. But when her weird classmate, Carlos, tells her she looks like a girl in an old painting of Narragansett Indians, Joelle is surprised by a flicker of recognition. Carlos leads her to the ancient Crying Rocks, where the howling winds are thought to be the spirit voices of children long ago flung to an early death. The terrible story draws Joelle into the downdraft of her own memory.
