Resumen del Editor

A richly rewarding novel about family bonds, the power of words, and the resilience of mothers and daughters in 1930s Appalachia.

The folks in the Kentucky Appalachians are scraping by. Coal mining and hardscrabble know-how are a way of life for these isolated people. But when Amanda Rye, a young widowed mother and traveling packhorse librarian, comes through a mountain community hit hard by the nation’s economic collapse, she brings with her hope, courage, and apple pie. Along the way, Amanda takes a shine to the MacInteer family, especially to the gentle Rai; her quick-study daughter, Sass; and Finn, the eldest son who’s easy to warm to. They remind Amanda of her childhood and her parents with whom she longs to be reconciled.

Her connection with the MacInteers deepens, and Amanda shares with them a dangerous secret from her past. When that secret catches up with Amanda in the present, she, Rai, Sass, and Finn find their lives intersecting—and threatened—in the most unexpected ways. Now they must come together as the truth lights a path toward survival, mountain justice, forgiveness, and hope.

Reseñas de la Crítica

“This moving tale of family bonds and the resilience of mothers and daughters is filled with rich period details, regional dialect, and fascinating local customs and foods…Readers of Kim Michele Richardson, Ann H. Gabhart, and Kim Vogel Sawyer will also enjoy this engaging historical novel.”Booklist

“A gorgeously written and well-layered novel that immediately transports us to the Appalachian Mountains of the 1930s. The ways, superstitions, folklore, and justice of the mountain people are woven deeply into the story. Rich in color, tradition, and character, this mountain saga will hold you spellbound.”Historical Novels Review

“A bright and vibrant debut. Light to the Hills is a touching meditation on motherhood and the importance of community, especially during difficult times. Bonnie Blaylock will be one to watch in the realm of historical fiction.”—Olivia Hawker, bestselling author of One for the Blackbird, One for the Crow

Excellent!

Great narrator and a wonderful tale. At times it broke my heart and made me cry. At times I feared for the characters. But this is a story of relationships and family and nature and love. The twist near the end was something I did not see coming and it made me laugh. Don’t miss it!

A most excellent story, with very good narration. The characters were so beautifully rendered, as was the Kentucky I know and love.

Loved it.

Loved the theme and plot. However, what I loved was the character development. My first novel by this author. I will seek out another.

Very enjoyable book!!

I loved this book! So nicely written and easily flows. It was enjoyable to read a simple story about family love and trials and struggles ending in a sweet and gentle way. Shannon McManus did a wonderful job! Her voice is soft and lyrical like the country hills she spoke about. She nailed all of the voices just perfectly. Very nice job. I will recommend this book to my friends.

Great Book!

I enjoyed this book and its characters. I love to read about the Appalachian people, and what they went through. It is difficult to imagine a day that everyone had to work just to survive. When I think of a young person today trying to do a quarter of what a kids were expected to do then I chuckle. They would be crying child abuse
Or child labor laws… lol. The family, and this mountain librarian tells us a wonderful tale of what things were actually like back then.. It’s an excellent book to read and listen to! I whisper-synced it on audio and the narrator does a great job!
