With a vividly captivating cover and poignantly written descriptions, The Spring in Trulee Holler by Jana Hutcheson is a fresh yet essential reflection of life in a small town. When Silas arrives in town, Jess and her heartstrings are sent in a whirlwind of emotions. Jess has been through her own share of loss and challenges and somehow finding Silas provides cause to wonder whether he will ever be able to live up to her expectations, needs, and aspirations. Perhaps what truly makes The Spring in Trulee Holler such a charming novel is Jana Hutcheson's ability to capture the reader in riveting dialogue and expertly crafted descriptions of this charming rural Alabama town.

Readers should be prepared to meet a myriad of dynamic characters, including local business owners, townspeople, and even a phenomenal upcoming country music star who may or may not capture a local love interest of her own when she visits. Hutcheson writes such a backstory that readers will find themselves flooded with nostalgia and emotions-- although in a very captivating and beautiful fashion.

What a delightful suprise for a debut novel! I wasn’t sure what to expect going into this book but the author weaves a wonderful tale that keeps the reader captivated until the very end. Looking forward to future books.

The Spring in Trulee Holler is a good clean Christian fiction book that entails a bit of romance and fantasy, that provide helpful life lessons. The use of scripture and sharing of their Christian faith was so encouraging to read and also was solid truth. This is a story about overcoming fear, anxiety, doubt, and healing. I would recommend this book to teenagers and up.

I enjoyed the family, small town community, and how the story dealt with cancer, loss, and immortality. The story takes place in the south in small town around Alabama and Tennessee, so I also enjoyed the southern charm of the book. The characters in the book worked through some difficult situations, but I love how you see them giving grace and the return to church for the one’s that had walked away.

I made many highlights through the book that were encouraging and great reminders of God’s truth, to which I look forward to go back and reread. It was a turn pager, kept me up late a couple nights! This book releases in April, so be sure to add this to your book lists!

I loved this book although I usualy don't enjoy heavy emphasis on God. In this case, the emphasis was not misplaced and it just helped create a beautiful story.

This was a good debut book and I look forward to more from this author .
I highly recommend picking up this book if you get a chance . It was heart warming and I couldn’t stop reading it to find out what happens next.
