Appalachian Song by Michelle Shocklee // Review

My Review: 

A heart tugging dual-timeline tale of love and sacrifice in the Appalachia Mountains. 

Country singer Walker Wylie enlists the help of adoption advocate Reese Chandler on his search to learn more about his roots. Together they uncover the mysteries of the past long left undisturbed.

A compelling story of life and love, Songbird comes into the Jenkins sister's lives unexpectedly, and they embrace the young woman with open arms. An engaging split time read, set in the 1930's and 1970's, with compelling characters, and storyline. I loved Bertie, and how she supported Songbird, offering a safe haven and protection. She is a voice of reason throughout the whole story. I like her gentle encouragement, and how she lives her life of faith. 

Overall, a gentle more slow burning read than previous books by this author, but I think it lends it self to the beautiful unfolding of the story through showing, and the development of the characters. Well worth the read, and another winner from Michelle Shocklee. 

I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.
