The Girl on the Mountain: A Powerful and Unforgettable Story of Strength and Sisterhood in the Rugged Appalachians
The land is wild and the men are rough
The Girl on the Mountain is a heartening, at times chilling story of a young wife abandoned in 1899 in a town ruled by one of the lumber companies logging the last of West Virginia’s virgin forest. To survive with honor, she must find friends and overcome an unjust reputation, but she has no resources but her wits, a litter of pigs, and the attachment of a wild, homeless girl. The story of May Rose and Wanda is the first book in the Mountain Women Series, bringing to life the struggles and triumphs, friendships and families of women in a small West Virginia town in the early 1900s.
