![]() ![]() I really liked how the author used real locations and places, real facts and real history-it made reading the book that much more interesting. ![]() ![]() A lot of work and thought went into this story, and it paid off. I found it incredibly impressive how the author managed to pull off both stories and also intertwine them. ![]() I LOVED the aspect of the two separate stories intertwining together-our main character, Jen, finds a manuscript of a story, and we get to read the manuscript in the book as well as Jen’s story. She effortlessly weaves together so many plot strands, characters, themes, and it works. A book about an editor and the publishing world? I’m in! The author’s talent is so admirable. and quite possibly through the doors she thought she had closed forever. But the search for the rest of the manuscript, and Jen’s suspicions about the identity of its unnamed author, will draw her into a mystery that leads back to the heart of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Happy with her life in the city, and at the top of her career with a new job at Vida House Publishing, Jen has left her Appalachian past and twisted family ties far behind. Synopsis: When successful New York editor Jen Gibbs discovers a decaying slush-pile manuscript on her desk, she has no idea that the story of Sarra, a young mixed-race woman trapped in Appalachia at the turn of the twentieth century, will both take her on a journey and change her forever.
