In the Hazel Creek Valley of the Great Smoky Mountains, Nathan and Callie Randolph, with the five unique daughters, wrestle to keep up their farm, forests, family, and trust against an unforgiving wilderness. An evil lumber company administrator is seeking by every means possible to pilfer their land and clear-cut their virgin forest. A solid of colorful personas, including a menacing stranger, gypsy siblings, a granny midwife, and a world-famous writer - a good flesh-and-blood Haint - collide in a gripping struggle of good and evil amid eruptions of assault and tragedy. Our heroine, fifteen-year-old Abbie Randolph, has to help save her family's farm and raise her sisters while conserving her trust. This important history, based on almost ten years of research and four many years of living in the region, captures the talk, ways, and values of these unique pioneers at an essential and irreversible turning point in this Smoky Mountains community of the Southern Appalachians. Along with the march of the commercial get older, especially commercial lumbering, the traditional life and means of our southern highlanders generally, and the Randolphs specifically, were about to change forever.
