Dear Librarians,

THE BALLAD OF LAUREL SPRINGS tells the stories of multiple generations of women in an east Tennessee family and the folk songs they pass down, along with a legacy of both violence and resilience.

In the tradition of my bestseller The Atomic City Girls, "this inspired story of Appalachian folklore will move readers" (Publishers Weekly) and fans of "historical fiction with strong female characters will want to give this book a try" (Booklist).
