Under the Weeping Willow Tree is the continuation story of young Maggie Dorsey's (Hammond), coming of life journey as she enters junior high. Maggie is also like so many families who come from a divided home. Many nights she'd pray for her father's return saying, Oh God, please hear my prayer and bring our daddy back home. I don't want to put my hands into the dark muck dirt, topping no man's onions or picking any damn cherries anymore. Sorry God, I mean no cherries. Maggie is part of a siblingship of four brothers and one sister who live in a small, two-bedroom home on Rural Route 1, on a dirt road. The family's livelihood is the welfare system and picking crops. There is a bright spot in her life, her three best friends who do most things together except pick crops and when the aunts, uncles, grandparents and her family meet underneath the weeping willow tree.
