The writing is very good and the story is heartwarming. The setting is the Trail Valley of the Appalachian Great Smokey Mountains of NE North Carolina where poverty abounds.
After her father’s death, the oldest Luther child, Mary Call, is responsible for her two younger siblings. Her older sister is married to a kind, sensitive man who is the legal guardian of the family.
A young boy is abandoned and found in a cage in the woods. While Mary Call’s older sister and her husband vow to raise the child, he is attached to Mary. Weary from raising two other children, at first she is reluctant to assume the responsibility. When her heart is warmed by the little boy, she is then open to the experience of love from two suitors.
In the end, she must choose between a wealthy man who can whisk her away and a sensitive down-home man who knows her well.
While the plot is not earth shattering, this is a book that is worth the read. As a side note, the authors profess to learning how to write because of their love of libraries and their insatiable desire to read. ( )
