內容簡介
對小女孩Jean來說,森林總是在歌唱著:微風吹拂,枝椏搖動,小松鼠與鳥兒穿梭林間-大自然的活動和諧地交織成一首首歌曲。小女孩與她的家人也會歌唱,隨著四季的流轉,她們用清亮的歌聲唱出對自然的讚頌。
 
Jean帶著一副好歌喉、村落古老的文化以及一把阿巴拉契亞揚琴,來到了大城市。當時人們正為了山區煤礦開採對環境、以及對礦工長期的職業傷害倡議著。Jean寫出動人的歌曲支持著倡議的人們,為了對自然的愛而唱,也為了譴責追求經濟利益而不顧生態環境的行為而唱。
 
Jean Ritchie的一生奉獻在傳統音樂的創作上,以唱片保存這些珍貴的文化以及阿巴拉契亞揚琴獨一無二的音色。Jean Ritchie的故事讓我們知道,對家鄉的熱愛可以擴及到不同面向,使我們懂得珍惜所有珍貴的事物,並做出行動來保護它。
