Makes me miss those hills

If you like the Mitford series, Little House on the Prarie, and All Creatures Great and Small series you are bound to like this story. I can't wait to read all the rest she wrote! And while you are at it, check out The No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency series.

A Wonderful Book about the Things that Matter

Janice Holt Giles is one of my favorite authors, and her first novel is excellent. Anyone who has ever read "Miss Willie" or "Tara's Healing" will love learning how it all started with Hod and Mary. Her descriptions of the Kentucky mountains and the lifestyle there are concise. I especially enjoy reading about Hod's thoughts and the moral dilemmas he faces as he grows older. This book contains several interesting points for us all to ponder, and the plot moves along nicely. I highly recommend it, as well as any other books by Janice Holt Giles!
