APPALACHIAN SONG by MICHELLE SHOCKLEE is a most enjoyable and inspirational read, with a heartwarming story, wonderful characters and a strong Christian message from Romans chapter eight verses fourteen to sixteen, where we are reminded of the Fatherhood of God and the believer’s adoption into His family.
In 1943 we come across five aging Jenkins spinsters who live in the mountains of Tennessee. When a young pregnant girl with a bullet in her shoulder comes out of the woods, a victim of her father’s wrath, they take her in and nurse her back to health. Bertie Jenkins is a midwife and delivers Songbird’s son. …
The story is about adoption and family relationships and I love the way the author has based her story on God’s love and faithfulness…
.In 1973 Reese Chandler, a midwife who was also adopted, is asked by Walker Wylie, a famous singer from Nashville, to help him find out about his birth mother……
I am not going to tell you any more for fear of spoiling things for you, excepting to say that I loved everything about Allalachian Song and cannot recommend it highly enough.
I was given a free copy of the book by NetGalley from Tyndale House Publishers. The opinions in this review are completely my own.
