Ava Burcham is a talented young woman with a big heart and a curious mind that isn't a stranger to trouble. She is determined to find out who killed her father, but she may be getting into more than she can handle poking around the bootlegging businesses of Appalachian Mountain folk.
An engaging read that brings to life a fictionalized account of the Carroll County Courthouse Massacre, which was an event that I was not terribly familiar with before reading this book. The author did a great job of bringing to life the lives of the mountain folk and staying true to the history.
Ava is a kind-hearted heroine, with a quick mind and a shadow hanging over her heritage. I liked her heart for helping others, and how she likes to brighten the lives of others. Jeremiah is a patient and protective hero, who loves Ava no matter what. Granny Burcham was probably my favorite character, with her heart and wise words of wisdom.
Overall, an entertaining read with likable characters, an engaging story, and solid message of trusting in God. Great for fans of Appalachian fiction and romance!
I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.
