The Girl on the Mountain (Mountain Women Book 1)

Description

May Rose married young and unwisely, and now her husband has abandoned her in a West Virginia town ruled by one of the lumber companies logging the last of the eastern virgin forest. She has nothing but her wits, a litter of pigs, and the attachment of a wild, homeless girl. Somehow, she must survive. But the year is 1899, and there are few honorable options for a woman on her own.

The Girl on the Mountain is a heartening and at times chilling story of how May Rose finds friends, escapes predatory men, and protects the girl who sleeps with a doll clutched tight and a knife under her pillow.
