Buried Deep in the Blue Ridge Soil Are the Roots of Strife - and the Seeds of Peace

In this suspenseful sequel to Highland Hopes, Abigail Porter Waterbury faces the challenges of motherhood in the midst of the Depression while reeling from the economic adversity that has brought her husband's law practice to collapse.

Abby's brother, Daniel Porter, is besieged by the mistakes of his past and the passing on of those closest to him. Somehow he must confront his own demons or risk drowning them in drink and regret.

As both Abby and Daniel watch each of their sons head off to war following Pearl Harbor, the feud between the Porters and the Clacks heats up. Someone must attempt to heal the "bad blood" between them. But the outcome is far from certain.

Folklorist Parker takes readers back to the Blue Ridge Mountains of half a century ago, rendering up a portrait of a distinctive era through the lives of hard-to-forget characters.
