Misty HollowBy June FosterDescription:When two people are cultures apart, only God can bridge the gap. Molly Cambridge arrives in the tiny Appalachian town of Misty Hollow intent upon bringing literacy to the area's uneducated women, only to be met by opposition at every turn by the headstrong, unbending mayor. When she asks for use of Town Hall, he refuses her offer to teach without pay and turns her down flat saying he only allows village business conducted there. Joel Greenfield, son of a poor dirt farmer, is illiterate. When he admits to his passion to turn the family farm into a dairy business, the obstacles are insurmountable. He couldn't even read the manual on how to use farming machinery, much less generate the necessary capital. His father’s objections further frustrate his desires. When Joel offers Molly use of the old barn on the Greenfield property, they discover an irresistible attraction for each other. But the mayor has plans of his own to break them up, send Molly back to Nashville, and seize the Greenfield farm for himself. Can Molly and Joel overcome the hurdles to fulfilling their dreams and find their way to each other? Only God has the answers. Book Takeaway:God loves and esteems us. He will use us and help us reach our full potential. Why the author wrote this book:John Corcooran could not read until he was in his middle thirties. Today he is a literacy advocate and speaker. I heard him speak at a reading conference in Toronto, Canada and he inspired me to write my hero in Misty Hollow as a poor dirty farmer who is illiterate but loves the Lord. |
