A Whole New World!
Leaving behind her 1911 city-life, Lucy has agreed to spend six months in the backwoods of Kentucky helping her cousin.
Lucy doesn’t know which is more shocking, how difficult it is to ride a horse, and discovering what a life of advantage she has led; or the severe poverty of the mountain population, along with the high amount of adult illiteracy that has led to the people being cheated.
Included in the story, is the mystery of what became of Charlotte, Lucy’s two-and-a-half-year-old sister, who disappeared without a trace. With each passing year, the guilt Lucy has felt because of it, has caused her to retreat within herself more.
In this new situation, Lucy faces roadblocks at every turn. The mountain people are naturally wary of strangers, but Angie takes it a step further, and is openly hostile to Lucy.
Will Lucy be taken in by Andrew’s charms, while being blinded to the unscrupulous things he does? Will the prickly Angie provide an answer to Charlotte’s disappearance? Will the idea of adults going to school on moonlit nights catch on, or will outside forces put an end to the project?
This is a fictionalized tale based on real historic events. I love this book, and you will, too– make sure you read this, it is amazing! This tale will stay with you long after you have finished the last page. The people’s trust and faith in God is a vital part of their daily life; it adds a richness and charm to this tale. I highly recommend this 5+ star book to everyone!
