Hearts on Lonely Mountain
Librarians of Willow Hollow #3

by A.M. Heath

227 pages // published in 2020 // Christian historical fiction

BOOK DESCRIPTION

Can two lonely people find more than a fleeting friendship or will a prejudiced town keep them apart?

When Ivory Bledsoe left the city to minister to the people of the rural mountain town of Willow Hollow, she never expected to be shunned rather than welcomed. Seeing the town as a lost cause, she’s eager to return home, but when the bridge leading out of town is washed away during a flood, she finds herself stranded in the last place she wants to be.

Ben Thrasher was content with his quiet life until he met the new librarian. He can’t help but be drawn to the friendly and lively Ivory Bledsoe, despite her being at the center of the town’s latest superstition. It’s only a matter of time until she captures his heart, turning his world upside down in the process.

Has Ivory gotten God’s plan for her all wrong or is there still a way she can serve these people? And can Ben ask her to stay in a place where so few are willing to embrace her?

Ivory Bledsoe hails from Nashville (1936), but she's got a mission in Willow Hollow, Kentucky. She is going to become a much-needed librarian in the little town, to spread books to the mountain's good people. She aims to accomplish her job in the most welcoming manner, since she knows that not everyone in Willow Hollow will even know how to read. Upon arrival, she finds out that she's ever so much more of an unwelcome outsider than she assumed.

Ivory will have many hurdles to overcome, including rumors about herself. The mountain folk are of a superstitious nature. One person publicly pegged her as a Moon Witch, and the whole town will have nothing to do with her. Except for one God-fearing man who believes in scriptures more than superstitions. The same man that kindly shelters Ivory when a storm passes through -- but that act of kindness is cruelly twisted into fresh rumors when she exits his home and goes back out into the world.

A.M. Heath's words shine brightly off the written page. Her storytelling abilities are simply sublime, welcoming me back to Willow Hollow each time I open the book to read more. I felt like the country accents are spot on! And Ben's five-year-old nephew, Gerrit, is one smart cookie.

Overall, this is a lovely, inspirational read!

Suitable for: 12 and up - Adults

Great Depression Sandwiches

The Great Depression was known for its hardships and these hardships hit all the harder in the pantry. While researching, I found the food rather fascinating. Here are some common sandwiches the people ate:

Ketchup Sandwiches

Onion Sandwiches

Mayo Sandwiches

Bacon Grease Sandwiches

Milk Toast

Creamed Corn on Toast

These common fares are only the tip of the iceberg.
