The Heart of the Mountains
July 1, 2022
by Pepper Basham (Author)
To escape marriage, Cora Taylor runs away from her home in England to join her brother in the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina, but not even her time as a nurse in the Great War prepares her for the hard landscape and even harder lives of the mountain people. With the help of Jeb McAdams, a quiet woodcarver, who carries his own battle scars, she fashions a place for herself among these unique people. But the past refuses to let go, and with dangers from within and without, can hearts bruised by war find healing within the wilds of the mountains?
“God had a way of placing beauty in the
most surprising places.”
I was taken away to the beautiful Blue
Ridge Mountains and the terrific characters in this book. The characters with
their challenges, superstition, faith, and determination made this a wonderful
story. The hero and heroine were worthy, compassionate, resilient and knew
heartache but strives for the better of all. This story is one that could not
be put down as it flowed easy with descriptive scenes, dialogues, history and
thoughts that emotions ran from tears to smiles. I highly recommend this book
to historical fans.
I received a complimentary copy of this
book from Barbour Publishing without any obligation to write a positive review.
I have expressed my own opinion.
