The Girl on the Mountain (Mountain Women Series Book 1)

Untrue things are rumored of May Rose, but it’s true she’s too pretty for her own good. Her husband has disappeared, and now she’s on her own in a rough town ruled by one of the lumber companies logging the last of West Virginia’s virgin forest. The year is 1899, and a woman alone has few options. With no resources but a litter of pigs and the attachment of a homeless child, May Rose must find her way home to her family. She wants to be respectable, but she’d do almost anything to save the child who sleeps with a doll clutched tight and a knife under her pillow.
