Elizabeth's Mountain Free online reading

“A wonderful, moving story about love and loss, focusing on two generations: grandmother and granddaughter.” –Marie W. Watts, author of the award-winning trilogy, Warriors for Equal Rights

Elizabeth is a feisty ninety-year-old widow keeping a secret. Developers have tendered a lucrative offer for her beloved Blue Ridge mountain home in Asheville, North Carolina. She knows her children will pressure her to sell it against her own wishes. But any hope of protecting it clashes with her gnawing awareness of the time she has left.

As Elizabeth agonizes over what to do, her granddaughter, Amanda, ends an unhappy relationship and yearns for a fresh start. She moves into the farmhouse with her grandmother, not far from the hospital where she works. Heartened by an exciting new relationship, Amanda examines her desires and intends not to repeat a history of foregoing her dream. She wants forever, but her unwillingness to compromise could mean losing out on a chance at true love.

Part 1950's historical romance and part contemporary romance, grandmother and granddaughter's stories unfold and interlace, connecting past with present. As Elizabeth begins to see her younger self reflected in her granddaughter, she wonders if Amanda could hold the key to her legacy.

An emotional, heartwarming tale of resilience and hope, Elizabeth's Mountain will charm and immerse listeners in a dual time-line of interweaving romances.
