I
was so happy to revisit Mary Breckenridge's Wendover and the Frontier
Nursing Service. This time we meet Piper Danson who volunteers to
serve as a courier with the FNS for one very special summer. We once
again get to experience the strong mountain people of Kentucky as
Piper adapts to their ways. Piper's hopes for the summer were to do
something different, something important, to experience life, but
mostly to forget about men and her father's expectations. How
surprised she was when not one, but two men follow her to the
mountains of eastern Kentucky!

H. Gabhart is a master storyteller. Her characters have depth and
feel like real folks, like someone you might know. Gabhart draws you
into the setting without lots of flowery words of description,
something I really appreciate. I highly recommend An
Appalachian Summer, and am
grateful to have received a copy from Revell via NetGalley in
exchange for my honest opinion. I was under no obligation to provide
a positive review, and received no monetary compensation.
