Appalachian Song

 By Michelle Shocklee

Adult Inspirational Fiction

Reviewed by Dorothy

    This was a new author to me, but I will definitely be reading more of her books!

    Appalachian Song is a historical inspirational novel set in the Great Smoky Mountain region of East Tennessee.  The story goes back and forth between some pivotal characters, and encompasses the pre-war period up to the current day.  The book delves into the world of adoption, both from the parent side and from the adoptee side.

    Songbird is a young unmarried girl who is pregnant.  Her father tries to kill her, so she runs away and finds herself being cared for by a country midwife and her sisters.  Years later, a popular singer finds out that he was adopted. While reeling with the news, he searches out his history.  Bringing in a few other supporting characters, this is a book that drew me in, leaving me wanting to remain in the story as long as possible.
