Description

Beautifully written. It touches the heart, and stirs emotions.

It’s the 1940’s, in rural East Tennessee, Appalachian country. For most everyone, there is only work, and possibly church, if there’s one nearby. People rise before the sun is up, work hard, go to bed early, and rest in church on Sunday. Little chance for much else to happen. Right?

So, why would keeping one little secret for over sixteen years be so important? What could possibly have happened, that could change the lives of so many people, if the secret were to be revealed?
There are only three people alive that know the answer to that question. For now.

Beautifully written. It touches the heart, and stirs emotions.

This is a great read. The author makes you care about the characters. Do not think that it is all feel good just like life it takes a turn and you will find yourself wanting to rush to end of the book to find out on things turn out (don't do it). It is well written and you will not want to stop reading until you get to the end.

This is a well written book that holds your attention from beginning to end. Once you start reading it you don't want to stop. I really enjoyed this book and highly recommend it. Thank you BooksGoSocial via NetGalley for the free copy. This is my honest opinion.

Jericho’s journey in this book was so poignant! I kept wanting to skip the other parts of the story to get to his. Loved it when they finally intersected!

BEST BOOK I EVER REMEMBER READING~
November 7, 2018
Format: Kindle Edition
WOW~ I don't know where to start. I love books about the past, even before my time.
This book starts in 1940 with the most loving family. You will fall in love with all of the
characters and detest the violence of the villain! I loved the way they lived, how they built,
their schooling, attending Church, how they cooked and ate. There's even a couple of amazing Recipes in the book as the girls were learning to cook dinner. There are so many "happy, feel good" moments in the book, then a bit of sadness when things take a turn. There's a beautiful surprise ending as
everything wraps up. No cliffhangers, that said, I'm dreaming of a sequel anyway. I want to
go back to these characters. I will be reading this book again. There isn't many I will read a
second time. I do not do spoilers but I seriously think you will love this book of life in East
Tennessee back in the 40's, 50's. I immediately bought the authors second book!

A sweet story taken place during the 1930's in Tennessee. A tragedy strikes during the night that leaves four children orphans. They move in with their grandfather and Sarah, the oldest strives to take care of all. There are some evil in this story that makes life complicated but it's heartwarming to see the community come together in all situations. The surprise at the end may lead to sequel? Recommended!

A very special book about a very special.family,
taking place in the early 1940,'s.
They had no phone,electricity or shopping malls,but they did have each other.
It's a book with so much going on that you'll find yourself sitting up all night to finish it like I did !
I love Historical fiction and this one is different than I usually read,but being a child from the 40's and living in Tennessee,it kept calling my name.
A little hard to review without giving so much away and you'll never see the ending coming,but I hope your intrigued,as I heartily recommend.
Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for allowing me to enjoy reading and reviewing "Sarah's Song" by Vicky Whedbee.
