An emotionally gripping and powerful novel you wont be able to put down!Readers are captivated by Carol Ervins The Girl on the Mountain: FIVE STARS: "Carol Ervin captures the triumphs, tribulations, and feel of the late 1800s perfectly in The Girl on the Mountain. Life at this time was real rough for women, and the same holds true as May Rose Long must contend with company hardliners and brothels while caring for herself and a young girl. This novel is heartfelt and powerful and I look forward to seeing where Ervin goes with it next!" - Goodreads Reviewer FIVE STARS: "Captivating, compelling...and a whole lot of other "C" words come to mind, like: "Couldnt" put it down. Carol Ervins writing is subtle and strong, the setting is powerfully portrayed without getting in the way, theres an undercurrent of dread that creeps along..." - Goodreads Reviewer FIVE STARS: "...If you ever feel nostalgic for the good old days, if you long for simpler times, the kind Ervin evokes with sounds of leaf whisper and high cricket drone and hawks making lazy circles in the sky, and if you think this was the clean time, when the earth did not tremble with far-off crash of trees, and passing trains did not smother the air, read on." - Goodreads Reviewer FORMAT Paperback CONDITION Brand New Details ISBN Author Carol Ervin Pages 314 Publisher Country Roads Publishing Series Mountain Women Year 2017 ISBN-13 9798215516119 Format Paperback Publication Date 2017-07-17 Imprint Country Roads Publishing DEWEY 813.54 Series Number 1 Audience General We've got this At The Nile, if you're looking for it, we've got it.
