I had a lovely visit recently from Leah Weiss, a fellow Appalachian author. She brought me a copy of her recently released novel, as well as some beautiful honey, courtesy of her bee-keeper husband.
The novel is a heady brew of Appalachian folklore, strong women, and a good bit of magic realism--or woo-woo, as my husband calls it.
It's quite a good read on its own, but folks who enjoyed Leah's first two books--If the Creek Don't Rise and All the Little Hopes -- will find even more to love as familiar characters appear in a new light.
Witches, psychics, hidden secrets, wrongs righted--all make for an absorbing quick-paced story.
