About this listen

Believing the bitter lies you tell yourself leaves little room for the sweetness of truth

Coal miner Joshua Morgan managed to do the impossible-he broke away from the stranglehold of the iron-fisted Barton family and the Company Store, to whom all the miners in the Appalachian Mountains are indebted. But it cost him the life of his young daughter, who was run down by a posse led by Thomas Barton while coming to collect Joshua's payment to the store.

Five years later, a sweet but slow-witted young girl lands on his doorstep, and Joshua's desire to protect her from the clutches of the Bartons increases his thirst for vengeance. Joshua sets out to discover where the girl came from in order to take down the Barton family once and for all.

His journey leads him to the truth about the day his daughter died, a reality he finds hard to accept. But when confronted by Thomas Barton himself, Joshua is forced to rethink the dark lies brewing in his heart. If he broke away, could Thomas have also? Despite his misgivings, can Joshua join forces with a man he once despised to free the miners from the tyrannical Barton family and forge a future of peace for both the young girl and himself?

Anger, prayer, repent. Repeat.

I have never wanted a book to end so much in all of my Audible days. It actually gave me anxiety, but hey, I had bought it. I listelistened with one eye closed as if looking at a car wreck. Story kept me just interested enough to not waste a credit. And the repeated emergence of anger, vengeance, a moment of reconciliation. Next day, repeat. weak characters. But I love Appalachian literature, but this one needed more grime and realistic characters.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
