Publisher's Summary:

Fifteen years have passed with only the exchange of letters among three families connected by love and misfortune. Now remnants of these families reunite when May Rose follows her reckless stepdaughter, Wanda, to a West Virginia ghost town.

The town has not been kind to either woman, but Wanda is determined to go back and capture the heart of a man who rejected her. Barlow Townsend has come into May Rose's life again, yet, like her, he is constrained by guilt.

A town of three households offers little to sustain them, but a looming war in Europe promises prosperity in the form of black gold. To restore the town and remake their lives, all who return will have to break the chains of the past.

Life was hard but the people in the books made the best of things and keep going

this is one of the series every women above the age of 12 should read. the entire series builds on the others and shows what hard work, determination, drive and not giving up can doe for someone. Life was hard but the people in the books made the best of things and keep going. Best part is the main characters are females and from book one you watch as they grow and develop in strong women who are still wives, friends, mothers, grandmothers and real people with out selling them self out or giving in. Great book well worth the time to read. Get the whole series, you won't go wrong

Great series, but

the books are written in different styles. The third book is written almost like a play with everything in the present tense. The fourth book, which I just started, is written in the first person. The first two books were written in the style I'm used to reading novels and are written differently from the third and fourth. There's also a gap over several year between books 1 and 2, but books 2, 3 and 4 all follow head to tail where one left off the other picks up pretty much or with just small gaps of time. Other than that I am enjoying the series.

A great series!

I am writing this review on the series as I don't believe they stand alone. That is not a bad thing considering that CE gifted us with the first two insallments of this wonderfully agreeable read. The first I bought as an audio book for a trip I was taking to TN. That almost put me off at first until I started to enjoy the characters as they took form and developed families.

It is clear and to the point without a lot of page filling descriptive rhetoric. Was it accurate? I don't know but the main character in the book was raised in the north by a well to do uncle so she would have been literate and somewhat educated for a woman in her time. There isn't a lot of weighed down conversations to truly consider accurate dialect. What this book lacks for me is emotional introspect. I would have liked it to have personal POVs from all the main characters, or more from Mae Rose. It could have been a 5

I think this would make a wonderful Netflix series, tho I am sure they would need to change it quite a bit for television. I am happy there is a fourth book in the series, and delighted it is in first person.

A must read for ALL historical fiction lovers.

Gripping. Full of well developed and continued characters.
