Meredith Battle lives with her husband, son, dog and ducks in a 200-year-old house in the Virginia Piedmont, a short drive from the Blue Ridge Mountains, the setting for her debut novel. She is currently working on her second book.
"Go Down the Mountain" was inspired by the stories of the people who lost their homes to Shenandoah National Park in the 1930s. At once dramatic adventure, moving love story and recollection of a vanished life, the story follows mountain girl Bee on her harrowing journey to discover the truth about her family, living and dead.
"Go Down the Mountain" is available to preorder on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/1643070134 ...more
