In 1933, most people are focused on the Great Depression but all Piper Danson can think about is how to get out of being a debutante and marrying Braxton Crandall. In an act of defiance, Piper volunteers as a frontier nursing courier in the Appalachian Mountains where adventure awaits.
I’ve said in the past that sometimes Christian fiction can be difficult for me to read. But, I’m finding that there are really talented authors in this genre who seem to be able to hook me with their stories.
Piper Danson finds herself needing to get away from normal life and pressures that weigh her–mainly, that of whether or not to marry for money or love. So she finds herself in the Appalachian Mountains giving help to frontier nurses.
An Appalachian Summer was a story of knowing yourself enough to take what you want, while still serving others and becoming the best you can be.
Gabhart painted the Mountains beautifully. I got a feel of life for both the wealthy and poor in the aftermath of the Depression. But, the descriptions of the Appalachians and its flora, fauna, and people brought the story to life.
