**From award-winning author Cathy Gohlke, whose novels have been called "haunting" (*Library Journal* on *Saving Amelie*) and "page-turning" (Francine Rivers on *Secrets She Kept*), comes a historical fiction story of courage and transformation set in rural Appalachia on the eve of WWII.** When Lilliana Swope's beloved mother dies, Lilliana gathers her last ounce of courage and flees her abusive husband for the home of her only living relative in the foothills of No Creek, North Carolina. Though Hyacinth Belvidere hasn't seen Lilliana since she was five, she offers her cherished great-niece a safe harbor. Their joyful reunion inspires plans to revive Aunt Hyacinth's estate and open a public library where everyone is welcome, no matter the color of their skin.
Slowly Lilliana finds revival and friendship in No Creek-with precocious eleven-year-old Celia Percy, with kindhearted Reverend Jesse Willard, and with Ruby Lynne Wishon, a young woman whose secrets could destroy both them and the town. When the plans for the library also incite the wrath of the Klan, the dangers of Lilliana's past and present threaten to topple her before she's learned to stand.
With war brewing for the nation and for her newfound community, Lilliana must overcome a hard truth voiced by her young friend Celia: *Wishing comes easy. Change don't.*

What an interesting story Cathy weaves through this novel. The characters were realistic and there were interesting moments in the story line dealing with very deep issues including spiritual abuse, physical abuse. The story is set in a small town in America during WW 2 and highlights the issuws in society and common beliefs during that era. It really is a challengimg but rewarding read.

Intriguing Story of Restoration
This novel based around historical facts and the sensitive issue of abuse (including spiritual abuse) and prejudice, is a wonderful read. Believable, grounded characters in a variety of settings explore faith and friendship despite the trials, and sometimes because of them. \\nA great book you will want on your bookshelf to read again! \\nI believe this book is especially for women and perhaps those who also need some heart healing.
