Mountain Miracles: The Clinch Mountain Series Book 3

by Elizabeth Wilmoth Solazzo

Dr. Katie Cook has worked hard to pave her own path in life. She moved away from her workaholic father and domineering mother in order to open a medical practice in the beautiful mountains of east Tennessee and stand on her own. Not convinced she could have both a rewarding career as a doctor and enjoy a rich family life, she avoided love and marriage. Determined to remain independent and devote herself to a career focused life, Katie wasn’t looking for new relationships.

Falling in love with Sheriff Bobby Lane and his young son was not part of Katie’s plan.

After finding a long-lost grandmother, Lovey Lephew, who has never forgiven herself from choosing career over family, Katie tries to repair the broken family connections between her father and his birth family. Her grandmother’s love and friendship changed Katie. After spending time with her, Katie comes to share Lovey’s beliefs that nurturing a family is more important than anything else in life.

Finally accepting Bobby’s marriage proposal and planning the perfect wedding alongside her domineering mother, Katie is feeling hopeful that she can have a full life when several complications arise to make her doubt her decisions. A murder pulls Bobby into an unexpected investigation that could change all of their lives. Katie stands up to her mother and cancels the planned wedding despite her love for Bobby and his son. As more complications unfold, will Katie’s love be enough to knit her hoped for family back together?

Or will doubts destroy all of her new dreams?

Reviews

[Earline Mann · Rating 5 out of 5]

The characters are developed in a way I felt I knew them personally which really made me want to keep reading . I’ve especially enjoyed Lovey, the Loveyisms, and her role in the series. There are interesting details such as the mean rooster. Some of the local phrases brought back memories of my own Virginia roots - “ have zero use for” or “tight as a tick”. one phrase I had never heard bit really liked was “like a naked elephant hanging over the side of the highway.” I could just visualize that sight! a phrase I might make my own was “that girl went up Crazy Mountain a long time ago and never came back down.” The developing story held my interest to the end.
Good work, Liz!!!
