The Trees' Song The novella recounts Mr. Anderson's attempt to chop down trees on the Logan family's property. The plot centres around Cassie Logan, who attempts to rescue the trees on her grandmother's property. Cassie's family needed money, but something told her the trees were just as essential. Cassie decides to move to Grandmother's estate and protect the trees there. But an old feud between Cassie's parents and the Andersons prevents them from being friends. As well, a new developer wants to cut down all the trees on the land for timber. Meanwhile, back at the log cabin, Mr. Anderson has also come to visit Grandmother's house. He brings his wife with him, but he has been drinking and throws a violent fit when he finds out that she wants to sell the house. After Mrs. Anderson leaves, Mr. Anderson goes outside to have a final talk with Grandmother before she dies. When Cassie arrives later that night, she finds her father dead. Then the trees on the estate begin to sing, and it becomes clear that they are trying to tell someone something. Cassie believes the trees are singing because they want her to save them. So, she takes a knife and tries to cut some of the trees down. But when she does so, she ends up killing them instead!
