An Appalachian Summer
By Ann H. Gabhart
Published by Revell
Description:
In 1933, most people are focused on the Great Depression but all Piper Danson can think about is how to get out of being a debutante and marrying Braxton Crandall, especially when her heart belongs to Jamie Russell. Even with Jamie out of the picture, Piper isn't quite ready to commit to Braxton, and in an act of defiance, volunteers as a frontier nursing courier in the Appalachian Mountains where adventure awaits.
Review:
This is a lovely book. The Appalachian setting just might be the star of the novel. Gabhart's descriptions of the flora and fauna and the people made me want to head to Appalachia to listen to birds and cross swinging bridges. The frontier nursing program was so interesting and I loved being able to get a glimpse of what that entailed. Although lacking any big problems or tension, the sweet romances made it a gentle and enjoyable story.
4 stars.
I read an ARC provided by the publisher via #NetGalley. All opinions are my own.
