An Appalachian Girl Seeks a Place to Belong

Return to the mountains of 1910s Appalachia with beloved author Pepper Basham to discover Kizzie McAdams's story.
Kizzie McAdams spent her childhood longing to see beyond the mountains of home, but when her job as a servant in a landowner's house results in an unplanned pregnancy, her world tips into uncertainty and heartbreak. Disowned by her father, she seeks comfort in the arms of the man who promises to take care of her, but his support is conditional and inconsistent. She finds acceptance in the home of a nearby family who not only offer Kizzie friendship but point her to a deeper understanding of God's love.
Despite her change of heart, her status as a social outcast brings with it continued threats and alienation so she flees her past in hopes of starting over in a nearby town. But her new world carries many of the same prejudices as the old. It also brings the unexpected friendship of businessman Noah Lewis, a man who lives with the same desire as Kizzie for helping the marginalized.
Unfortunately, Kizzie and Noah's attempts to help those in need pit them against Noah's elder brother, a powerful mill owner who holds control of the family finances. Is Kizzie and Noah's growing romance strong enough to battle family power, social expectations, and Kizzie's past to capture their happy ending? And when Kizzie's first love returns to claim her, which future will she choose?

      Basham (The Juliet Code) sets a sweet and spirited romance against a rugged, early 20th-century North Carolina backdrop. After 17-year-old Kizzie McAdams gets pregnant and is disowned by her family, she seeks refuge with the baby’s father, wealthy Charles Morgan, who sets her up in a house of her own. Sympathetic neighbor Nella reminds Kizzie of her worth as a child of God, though Kizzie feels rejected by Charles and is convinced her sins are irredeemable. When Kizzie and her son are threatened by judgmental townspeople, Nella helps Kizzie skip town. She sets out in the middle of a snowstorm and happens upon handsome Noah Lewis, whose carriage has been overturned. He welcomes her and her son to the estate he shares with his mother and brother, and Noah and Kizzie begin to fall for each other, though there are formidable obstacles standing in their way, including a scheming brother, a contested family fortune, and a ghost from Kizzie’s past. While the character of Noah feels too good to be true, Kizzie’s irrepressible spirit carries the narrative forward as she strives to restore her faith and carve out a better life for herself and her son. This has charm to spare.
