A sweet innocence

This is my favorite book of Sonya Birmingham's! Jubilee Jones has a sweet, innocent and child-like quality. She makes you remember that there's more to life than financial achievements or what's often touted as "success." From her mountain home to Asheville and back again, she leads Stephen Wentworth on a magic journey to rediscover his true self.

This is a great book that you should read right away

I loved the beginning of the book a smart, sassy mountain girl who rides into to town on an old ratty looking mule wearing buckskins and kinda just blows off the snide remarks of the so called "well-mannered,civilized" people of the town. She then manages to get a child who hasn't talked or smiled or showed much of any emotion to anyone, not even his own father, in almost a year to smile and accept her in less than an hour of her arrival in town. Also the fact that she is working for the man, Stephan Wentworth, her family hates because of his fathers, the old and terrible Wentworth, terrible logging conditions that crippled her twin brother and the only reason she stays on is to earn enough money to get her sick grandma a good doctors attention. Plus the way she gets him to open up with stuff like a magic garden and magical tricks. And the way she practically blurts out her entire (well not entire) history to Stephan when she first meets him because shes nervous.Stephen Wentworth can't believe how this mountain girl, who believe's in folklore and magical things, got his son to start talking again in less than two weeks after her arrival. Or how she had captivated his thoughts.I think you get the picture of how good the book is. I think the part i liked best about the book was the way she handled the children and townswomen's remarks in the beginning. She handled it in a sort of way that made me want to read more of the book. I don't think i can explain in words how much i really liked it but i just know that you should read it and judge for yourself. But to warn you it does kinda start to slow down or at least for me it did. I hope you decide to buy the book.
