An Appalachian Girl Seeks a Place to Belong Return to the mountains of 1910s Appalachia with beloved author
Pepper Basham to discover Kizzie McAdams's story. Kizzie McAdams spent her childhood longing to see
beyond the mountains of home, but when her job as a servant in a landowner's house results in an unplanned
pregnancy, her world tips into uncertainty and heartbreak. Disowned by her father, she seeks comfort in the
arms of the man who promises to take care of her, but his support is conditional and inconsistent. She finds
acceptance in the home of a nearby family who not only offer Kizzie friendship but point her to a deeper
understanding of God's love. Despite her change of heart, her status as a social outcast brings with it continued
threats and alienation so she flees her past in hopes of starting over in a nearby town. But her new world carries
many of the same prejudices as the old. It also brings the unexpected friendship of businessman Noah Lewis,
a man who lives with the same desire as Kizzie for helping the marginalized. Unfortunately, Kizzie and Noah's
attempts to help those in need pit them against Noah's elder brother, a powerful mill owner who holds control
of the family finances. Is Kizzie and Noah's growing romance strong enough to battle family power, social
expectations, and Kizzie's past to capture their happy ending? And when Kizzie's first love returns to claim her,
which future will she choose? Read also: Laurel's Dream by Pepper Basham The Heart of the Mountains by
