An Appalachian Feud Blows Up in 1912
Step into True Colors -- a new series of Historical Stories of Romance and American Crime
In Carroll County, a corn shucking is the social event of the season, until a mischievous kiss leads to one of the biggest tragedies in Virginia history. Ava Burcham isn’t your typical Blue Ridge Mountain girl. She has a bad habit of courtin’ trouble, and her curiosity has opened a rift in the middle of a feud between politicians and would-be outlaws, the Allen family. Ava’s tenacious desire to find a story worth reporting may land her and her best friend, Jeremiah Sutphin, into more trouble than either of them planned.
The end result? The Hillsville Courthouse Massacre of 1912.
My Rating: 5 Stars
What a truly captivating story! Pepper weaves the real life facts of the Hillsville Courthouse Massacre of 1912 with the fictional story of Ava and Jeremiah wonderfully. I could not put this book down, it was so so good. Fantastic read!
I received this book from the publisher and was not required to post a positive review. All thoughts are my own.
