Brown’s latest takes readers on a journey through intricate family dynamics, fleeting moments of bliss, and enduring remorse. Maggie McCoury is a sought-after traditional healer in Green Mountain Gap. While many appreciate her abilities, daughter Carrie Ann resents her for not saving her father’s life. Carrie Ann pursues nursing to bring scientific medicine to the town, while granddaughter Josie Mae admires and hopes to follow in Maggie’s footsteps. Torn between faith and science, the three women navigate relationships amidst sickness and death. Brown’s writing vividly portrays a small Appalachian town in the late 1800s and early 1900s. Through her characters’ struggles with discrimination and resistance to change, she highlights the importance of traditional healing and indigenous wisdom. The intertwined stories of Maggie and Carry Ann create a compelling drama as they clash over traditional healing methods versus modern medicine. At the center is Josie, torn between family beliefs and societal pressure. Her bond with her grandmother adds depth to the narrative, emphasizing their precious connection. A stirring, transporting story of family ties…
