About the Book:
An Appalachian Girl Seeks a Place to Belong
Return to the mountains of 1910s Appalachia with beloved author Pepper Basham to discover Kizzie McAdams's story.
Kizzie McAdams spent her childhood longing to see beyond the mountains
of home, but when her job as a servant in a landowner’s house results in
an unplanned pregnancy, her world tips into uncertainty and heartbreak.
Disowned by her father, she seeks comfort in the arms of the man who
promises to take care of her, but his support is conditional and
inconsistent. She finds acceptance in the home of a nearby family who
not only offer Kizzie friendship but point her to a deeper understanding
of God’s love.
Despite her change of heart, her status as a
social outcast brings with it continued threats and alienation so she
flees her past in hopes of starting over in a nearby town. But her new
world carries many of the same prejudices as the old. It also brings the
unexpected friendship of businessman Noah Lewis, a man who lives with
the same desire as Kizzie for helping the marginalized.
Unfortunately, Kizzie and Noah’s attempts to help those in need pit them
against Noah’s elder brother, a powerful mill owner who holds control
of the family finances. Is Kizzie and Noah’s growing romance strong
enough to battle family power, social expectations, and Kizzie’s past to
capture their happy ending? And when Kizzie’s first love returns to
claim her, which future will she choose?
My Review:
I have followed Kizzie on this journey and each time she becomes more and more alive to me. She is trying to make a way for herself. Being disowned by her father has its challenges but she was able to find some solace within a family that has taken up with her. She is able to have a model christian family played out before her eyes.
Even though she has a conditional relationship with Charles she longs for something more, most likely something he cant give. Soon she meets Noah and things seem fine with him he definitely shares some of the same interests as Lizzie does.
Everything seems to be up in there for her because things get shook up a bit before its over. she has many decisions to make and they need to be made soon.
