If the creek don't rise

Thanks so much for the tag. It has arrived in NJ today.

The story takes place in the 1970’s in a small town in Appalachia. The chapters are told by different people living there, but they all come together nicely. Sadie Blue is a pregnant teenager, the father of her baby is abusive. Life is hard and almost everyone takes these things in stride, until, a stranger comes to town and gives Sadie the courage she needs to make her life better.
I chose this for my bookclub to read this month. It will then become available.

Sending to nancynova for the wishlist tag game. Hope you enjoy it. 17 women were at bookclub last night and all agreed it was a good book!

book arrived. Thanks

rabck from spoiledrotten; Set in appalachia in the 1970s (although it could have been anytime in the 20th century), schoolteacher Kate is fired from her private school for assisting a student & for her lifestyle. She's hired by dirt poor Baines Creek. The chapters switch between pregnant teen Sadie, her deadbeat, abusive husband & his friend who run a Moonshine business, and a few of the other folks in the holler. I was hoping Prudence would be changed, but that didn't happen. Good ending for how Sadie escaped her marriage.

Releasing into the Places BookSpiral. Enjoy!
