Gift pack includes a limited signed copy of my Novel Hymns of Blue Hollow, an Old Reed Estate postcard, an exclusive laminated bookmark, and a button wrapped as pictured.
Hymns of Blue Hollow is a vividly raw and lyrical tale of resilience and survival.
Born into crippling poverty and isolated in the hills of 1940s Tennessee, Esther Primm lives under the harsh, unyielding control of her grandmother, forced into the dangerous world of moonshining. Her life is a narrow, punishing path—until fate pushes her into a world beyond the Blue Hollows.
Taken in by Clarissa Johnson, a woman she was always warned to stay far from—someone with secrets of her own—Esther finds herself struggling to believe she can ever belong at the Old Reed Estate. There, she meets Ian Huggler, a broad-shouldered German man with a haunted past, who ignites a yearning she can’t easily contain.
But the fragile freedom she has begun to taste is easily threatened by bootlegging Preacher Clive—a man driven by dark desires and a lifelong obsession—who refuses to let go of his grip on her.
Set against the haunting, rugged beauty of Appalachia during WWII, this is the story of a young woman fighting to find the courage to believe she is worthy of the life she didn’t know was possible–and searching for the strength to claim it.
