I do not recall the title of the book, but it is in the &#8220;supernatural&#8221; category, geared for pre-teen or early teenage years. The main character is called Dorcas and she has a spinning top that allows her to access her supernatural power. I believe she is an orphan. There is also a young man that is her advocate. She acquires damaging information through her &#8220;gift&#8221; that implicates stalwart pillars of the community; they come after her as the book comes to a climax, with her being trapped in a cave by one of these perpetrators. She is rescued at the end of the book by her young protagonist who, at one point, had given her a red scarf. I always thought this book was called &#8220;The Spinning Top&#8221;, but any and all efforts to locate it by that title have been completely futile! I have been searching for this book for nearly 50 years and hope that, with your help, it can be found.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I am trying to locate a favorite childhood book, probably published sometime in the mid sixties.
