Can their hearts overcome the darkness of the mountains?

To escape a forced marriage, Cora Taylor travels from England to the Blue Ridge Mountains in search of her brother, who is working as a teacher in a mission school. She hopes to find a place where her nursing skills and independent ideas will be accepted and appreciated, but nothing prepares her for the wild mixture of isolation, community, brokenness, and hope within these mountains … or in the person of Jeb McAdams.

Returning from the devastation of World War I emotionally damaged, Jeb McAdams struggles against the rampant mountain alcoholism to soothe his nightmares. It’s easy to hide within the mountains, or it was, before Cora Taylor
arrived. Now, she seems to show up at every turn, bringing her modern ideas, curiosity, and beautiful eyes with her.

Bound by their shared war history, the pair develop an unlikely friendship, which unexpectedly hints at something more. But when Cora’s desire to help the women of the mountains crosses an unspoken line, will Jeb be able to protect this feisty flatlander from the wrath of the mountain men or will he end up losing much more than his heart?

What a wonderful story of people living in the Blue Ridge mountains! The hardships, joys, meanness, faith, love and so much more. This book seemed real, listening to the narrator telling of the close-knit families and others who inhabit the mountains, and the ones who came to serve. It was a story well told and I really enjoyed it!

Pepper, I really enjoy your writing! I am drawn in to each character and they end up living in places in my heart. The characters and the story are both well developed pulling the reader in with their minds and their hearts.
