The first of the Carolina Heirloom series. Finding a slush pile manuscript on her desk, has editor Jen being taken back to her Blue Ridge Mountain roots. This novel is a story within a story and will have you wondering how the story with bring you up to the present. Each novel in the series can stand on its own, but you would be missing a wonderful series, if you didn't read them all.

I love how Lisa Wingate beautifully weaves the different settings and time periods in this book, and how it all comes together in the final pages of this book. Lisa never disappoints me!
