Story Behind The Book

On a hot, summer afternoon while attending my Aunt Lois' funeral in South Carolina, I noticed a young boy at the cemetery in a state of extreme grief. Suddenly a voice in my head said, "This is the beginning of the story." Nothing happened for a couple of years, but when it finally did the funeral scene ended up halfway through the book. Also, it was sleeting and winter. That is the mystery of writing.

You can hear the words sing on every page.  You can almost sing them. When the author describes a North Carolina mountain waterfall, you hear it, smell the moss on the rocks, breathe in the mountain air.It's pure poetry and a joy to your senses.&quot;</span></p> <div style="color:rgb(17,17,17);font-family:'Amazon Ember', Arial, sans-serif;font-size:13px;background-color:rgb(255,255,255);"> <div> </div> <div><span>Ruth Moose, <span style="font-weight:700;">The Pilot </span> </span></div> </div>
