Novel written in the style of letters and journal entries as a young girl moves through the stages of young adult, unwed (she calls it ruined)mother, young wife and matriarch of a mountain family. The story unfolds wonderfully with well developed characters and descriptions of places that come alive. Well respected author with a great writing style.
