The Word Dancer: An Appalachian Tale is out in the world now! You can order it at your favorite brick and mortar or online retailer.
This romantic suspense takes place in 1960s Appalachia and follows the story of Maribelle, a teacher who leaves her comfortable life in Nashville to teach deaf children in a rural mountain town.
As she teaches the children American Sign Language, she realizes that life in Sassafras Hollow is harder than expected. She doesn’t anticipate the townspeople’s skepticism of her methods, the harsh realties of mountain life, or the deadly fallout from an unrequited love.
