Joe Bowman Spirits— Roberta Willis Joyce Kizzce Juanita Nance John Bingham John Melvin Joe Bowman Children— Gary Kizzee Helen Hall Melanie Hall Nestled away in the California hills is tiny, picturesque Green Valley the kind of place you come upon unexpectedly one day, later recall, but can never seem to rediscover. For a hundred years, the Berry family has owned it. Grampaw Berry himself, it was—a straight'thinking, straight' shooting pioneer who staked out the original claim back in gold rush days. . . . But Eldon Berry, the last of the line, is about to lose it to the unscrupulous hands of one Tobias J. Evcrhecl. Right now, the loss will be doubly painful. Strangely, unaccountably. Green Valley has become a little paradise of nature. Everything is growing in rampant profusion: juicy strawberries as big as your fist, bright yellow sunflowers higher than a house, beanstalks that shoot up and grow before your very eyes! Most unusual of all is Eldon's cow, Minnie, who imbibes from the renewed bubbling spring and gives gallons of rare milk—milk so rare that those who drink it hear weird music and see people . . . people who officially stopped walking the earth many years before. You don't believe it? Well, no one can blame you. It took seeing in order to believe by the “live folks. However, stirred from their eternal rest by the noise of Everheel's tractor and the threat to their Valley, Eldon's ancestors arc “riz . Peppery Grampaw, Granny who insists on hooks and eyes instead of buttons and bows, gruff Calhoun, bearded Jcb. and all the rest have come back to fight, to laugh, to love—till they finally and dramatically fade away on the waters of Everheel's exploded dam just as the cocky crowing of OF Arthur, “the herald of the morn, brings dawn back to Green Valley. Only then docs a new and deeper understanding come to a chastened Eldon and a triumphant Prim.

Melody is a typical teenager, who is constantly in trouble. When Melody is told that she is adopted by her jealous cousin, Elaine Walkins, her world collapses and she runs away from home. Finally Melody returns home and she realizes that blood relationship is not so important as love and understanding. Elaine apologizes for her wickedness and Melody is very happy.
