While the style is a bit too "little house in the prairie " for me, it was a GREAT book about the history of this area. It is suitable for all ages. It includes landscape history, CCC, WWII, removal from lands taken by the government to create the Blue Ridge Parkway, various world events and how they reached and affected the people of the small community of Bedford.

Just finished reading this book written by a local author and thoroughly enjoyed the story. It's chock-full of local history (some of which I wasn't aware of) and later on in the story, delves into WWII, as 2 of the main characters valiantly fought in, one in the Pacific Theater and the other on D-Day in Normandy. It touches on the great sacrifices of the small town of Bedford, Virginia. I loved every character, especially Reverend Hezekiah. It's a wonderful read, especially for Central Virginia natives.

Historical fiction - focused on southern VA from the Depression through WWII and centered around the childhood, teen and early twenties years of a girl and two boys who grow up together. It's a sweet novel that incorporates faith and struggle and friendship. The ending leaves something to be desired-tho one could say it reflects the realities of life.

Enjoyed reading this book since we travelled the BRP and stayed at The Peaks of Otter resort.
