Author: Cindy K. Sproles
Age: Adult
Genres: Christian Historical Fiction
Publication Date: June 2, 2020
Publisher: Revell
Source: Paperback
Purchase: Paperback | Kindle | Audible | Hardcover
Synopsis:
Worie Dressar is seventeen years old when influenza and dysentery ravage her Appalachian Mountain community in 1898, leaving behind a growing number of orphaned children with no way to care for themselves. Worie's mother has been secretly feeding a number of these little ones on Sourwood Mountain. But when she dies suddenly, Worie is left to figure out why and how she was caring for them.

Plagued with two good-for-nothing brothers--one greedy and the other a drunkard--Worie fights to save her home and the orphaned children now in her begrudging care. Along the way, she will discover the beauty of unconditional love and the power of forgiveness as she cares for all of Momma's children.

Storyteller and popular speaker Cindy K. Sproles pens a tender novel full of sacrifice, heartache, and courage in the face of overwhelming obstacles. 
My Rating:
This book will make you cry, laugh and cry some more...yes, this was absolutely a joy to read and almost became a favorite. I loved Worie and her personality. I loved learning about the secrets revealed after her mother's death. Seeing Worie learn the secrets and handle them was outstanding. The talk of family, faith and caring for others within this was phenomenally done. The lessons learned were profound. Would definitely recommend and can see myself re-reading this again.

Blessings,
