This sequel to Gentle's Holler is a beautiful story of strength and determination. Set in the 1960's in the North Carolina mountains, I loved reading more about the family. With daddy recovering -- more slowly than anyone would like -- from a car accident, the family has profound financial problems. But the book is much more than a typical "problem novel." The setting is so very clear that I was totally taken into the time period and mountain life.
I think this book should be on our mock reading list, but I'd love to hear comments from others... particularly those who have not yet read the first book in the series. Does this book stand alone?
