Description

Judd Markley is a hardworking coal miner who rarely thinks much past tomorrow until he loses his brother--and nearly his own life--in a mine cave-in. Vowing never to enter the darkness of a mine again, he leaves all he knows in West Virginia to escape to Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. It's 1954, the seaside community is thriving, and Judd soon hires on with a timber company.

Larkin Heyward's life in Myrtle Beach is uncomplicated, mostly doing volunteer work and dancing at the Pavilion. But she dreams of one day doing more--maybe moving to the hollers of Kentucky to help the poor children of Appalachia. But she's never even met someone who's lived there--until she encounters Judd, the newest employee at her father's timber company.

Drawn together in the wake of a devastating hurricane, Judd and Larkin each seek answers to what tomorrow will bring. As opposition rises against following their divergent dreams, they realize that it may take a miracle for them to be together.

Judd Markley is a hardworking coal miner who rarely thinks much past tomorrow until he loses his brother--and nearly his own life--in a mine cave-in. Vowing never to enter the darkness of a mine...

"Judd blew out a breath. This whole family left him feeling like he was skating across a frozen pond in his stocking feet."
Christian Historical 1954. Simple people, simply told, but as complicated as real life is. Judd, a coal miner in West Virginia has a life altering accident. He leaves for a new job at a timber company in Myrtle Beach, following a dream - his brother's. It's a whole new life for him. There he meets the boss's daughter, Larkin. She has a dream of helping people, more specifically Appalachia hill people, near where Judd was from. This is a beautifully told story, vividly real, where you thoroughly get to know the people and it's easy to see their surroundings. You want the very best for each of them. A story that certainly holds your interest until the very end.
