A novel that delves into the intricate web of family bonds, the profound impact of words, and the unwavering resilience of mothers and daughters in the rugged landscapes of 1930s Appalachia.

The people of Kentucky's Appalachian region live a hardscrabble existence, relying heavily on coal mining and traditional knowledge to survive. However, their lives are forever changed when Amanda Rye, a young widowed mother and traveling packhorse librarian, arrives in a mountain community ravaged by the nation's economic collapse. With her boundless optimism, courage, and homemade apple pie, Amanda brings a glimmer of hope to the struggling community.

Among the MacInteer family, Amanda finds a special place in her heart for Rai, her gentle daughter; Sass, her quick-witted daughter; and Finn, the eldest son with a warm and welcoming personality. The MacInteers remind Amanda of her own childhood and the parents she longs to reconcile with. As her connection with the family deepens, Amanda shares a dark secret from her past with them, one that threatens to unravel their lives and put them in danger.

When the truth about Amanda's past catches up with her in the present, she, Rai, Sass, and Finn find themselves intertwined in a web of danger and suspense. They must come together, united in their determination to survive, seek mountain justice, find forgiveness, and hold onto the hope of a better future.

Through its vivid portrayal of the 1930s Appalachian landscape, the novel explores the power of words, the strength of family bonds, and the resilience of the human spirit in the face of adversity. It is a testament to the enduring spirit of mothers and daughters and the transformative power of love and forgiveness.
