Farrowlee Mountain (Wonderful West Virginia Book 2)
About
Kate McNaughton’s life should be a ball. She has the support of a loving family, a good job as clerk at the mining company her father and brothers work for, and the interest of handsome new miner Patrick. But there’s trouble at the mine, and when a tragic accident threatens to tear apart her family, she suspects Patrick may be responsible.
Emily Carter’s life should be made in the shade. Newlywed to the superintendent of the mine, she has a life of plenty and prestige. But she can’t break the class barrier to make a single friend in this close-knit community, and even her husband is pulling away from her. Now, she’s keeping secrets from him.
As if these two women in Farrowlee, West Virginia, don’t have enough to worry about at home, war breaks out in Korea, affecting their families in unimaginable ways. Navigating the strife at home and abroad will require every ounce of their strength as they learn that only God can bring peace amid the struggles.
Praise for this book
Brenda O'Bannion is a gifted writer. I'm amazed by the diverse characters she creates in the setting of the beautiful hills of West Virginia. Plunge yourself into this book and enjoy the story she weaves in the setting of the coal mine industry and the Korean War.
Brenda is a truly gifted writer. The characters were engaging true to themselves throughout the book. Kate is a strong independent young woman with close family ties trying to navigate her way through relationships in the class divided town. And Emily is a lovely down to earth character married to the mine superintendent in town. The meeting of these two women and the friendship that develops is heartwarming. It is refreshing to read a novel that so sweetly weaves together life’s joys and sorrows with biblical truth. Well done.
