Anna May Jones is the daughter of a coal miner, but a sickly constitution has kept her confined to the house for most of her life. Hoping to improve her daughter's health—and lessen the burden on their family—Anna's mother sends her to live with her Aunt Jinny, a witchy-woman and an Elemental Master, in a holler outside of Ducktown.
As she settles into her new life, Anna learns new skills at Aunt Jinny's side and discovers that she, too, has a gift for Elemental magic that Jinny calls "the Glory." She also receives lessons from a mysterious and bewitching woman named Jolene, who assures her that, with time, Anna could become even more powerful than her aunt.
But with Anna's increasing power comes increasing notice. Billie McDaran, the foreman of the Ducktown mine, begins to take an interest in Anna and her abilities—even though Anna has already fallen in love with a young man with a talent for stonecarving.
If she wants to preserve the life she has come to love, Anna must use her newfound powers to oppose the foreman and protect those around her.

The narrators performs is a delight of accents and emotions. And it made me miss the Appalachian trails. The modern idioms might vary slightly but if you ever been in a Holler… Well yall know…

My biggest complaint is the singular use of the word y'all. As a Southerner I cringed every time the word was used this way--and it was used very often! My father was from the hills of tennessee and I have lived in many states in the South and no one I have ever encountered used y'all when addressing one person. My Tennessee granny was born in 1898 and never used y'all except when talking to or about more than one person. Listening to this audio either made me cringe at the misuse or confused me when there were multiple people in the scene but the y'all was addressed to only one person. Perhaps there is a pocket of people somewhere in the South who misuse the contraction y'all--which means "you all"--but I've never met them. I'd like to recommend this one to my friends--it is pretty much stand alone and there is no need to have read the other books--but I'll have to warn them of the way y'all is used... many will give it a pass for that reason I'm afraid.
