The Song of Sourwood Mountain

I thoroughly enjoyed this book! I loved Mira. At first, she has no intention of accepting Gordon’s proposal, but with a little prodding from the spunky Miss Ophelia & after losing her job & home in one fell swoop, she’s willing to take it to give it some thought. I admired her bravery & willingness to follow the Lord’s promptings. Gordon was such an enjoyable character too with his golden retriever personality. I loved their marriage of convenience story, the mystery & Ada June! Highly recommend

Loved reading the awesome and inspirational story. When Preacher Gordon asks Mira to come to teach in Sourwood and become his wife, Mira is shocked and declines his offer, but when God closes doors, she loses her teaching job and a place to live, Mira realizes God wants her to say yes to Gordon's proposal. Read the highly recommended, wonderfully written, and a must read romance story of two people finding love in the rural town of Sourwood.

The Song of Sourwood Mountain is a story that immediately had me loving the kaleidoscope of characters that paraded across the pages and settled right into my heart. Reminiscent of Catherine Marshall’s Christy, this story really brought the mountain culture of early-twentieth-century rural Kentucky to life for me. I couldn’t get enough of it! I couldn’t stop reading, as enamored with this book as I was, and am only sad that it couldn’t be even longer so that I could enjoy it some more!
