About the book:
Kentucky packhorse librarian Tansy Calhoun doesn't mind the rough trails and long hours as she serves her Appalachian mountain community during the Great Depression. Yet she longs to find love like the heroines in her books. When a charming writer comes to town, she thinks she might have found it--or is the perfect man actually closer than she thinks?
Perdita Sweet has called these mountains home for so long she's nearly as rocky as the soil around her small cabin. Long ago she thought she could love, but when the object of her affection up and married someone else, she stopped giving too much of herself away to others.
As is so often the case, it's easier to see what's best for others than to see what's best for oneself, and Perdita knows who Tansy should choose. But why would anyone listen to the romantic advice of an old spinster?
Saddle up for a heartfelt story of love--love of family, love of place, and the love of a lifetime--from bestselling author Ann H. Gabhart.
My thoughts: 4/5 stars
Along a Storied Trail is very much like "The Waltons." which I grew up watching and loving!
The mountain people were so fun to get to know and learn their stories.
The writing wasn't my absolute favorite but it was very fitting to the story. The story line was cute and I was very interested in the traveling librarians. I absolutely loved learning about that part of history!
I must confess I did not have time to finish the story before the review was due. But I'll definitely be finishing it soon!
