Book Overview
Dreams Like Thunder takes place on a small Eastern Oregon farm between Baker and Hells Canyon. The story is set over a couple of days in 1959, but part of the family seems less in touch with the twentieth century than with the myth of their own pioneer past. The myth varies according to who is doing the telling. It is up to Alberta, who is ten years old and heir to both the farm and the myth, to discover some truth behind the stories--a truth that will help her know who she is and what her own future might be.

More than adolescence!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 26 years ago
Diane Simmons' tale of an early coming-of-age tells a somewhat different tale than the review listed here by Kirkus reviews. I found my readership engaged with the story being told, not so much because of the attachments that story has with everyone's coming-of-age, but because that telling's sharp details do foretell one's life in all its strangeness. The title of this book rings true from page to page, which makes it MORE of a story, not less!
