Sarranda's Heart: A Love Story of Place

Celia H. Miles

4.9/5 (20157 ratings)

Description:Sarranda Boylett’s heart is mountain-bound—tied to her grandfather’s grist mill and her memory of one night of lavender-scented passion.In the early 1880s Sarranda, accompanied by Lila, a young Irish serving girl, returns to her beloved western North Carolina. With determination and hope as deep as Sarranda’s roots, the two meet challenges and obstacles in an isolated community changed by the Civil War losses and the influx of strangers. In a changing world where North and South may meet, even merge, without rancor and bitterness, their grit, grace, and humor allow for opportunity and love in unexpected places. Choosing independence over comfort, the present over the past, they forge new lives for themselves and provide hope and support to impoverished women and children in isolated Greene’s Valley. Sarranda’s Heart is about opening to the many kinds of love that may indeed “make all things possible.”What readers are saying about Sarranda:“I just want you to know how much I enjoyed Sarranda. I have added Sarranda to my list of women I admire—Lydia McQueen, Ivy Rowe, Julie Harmon, Mary Seneca Steele (from Dot Jackson’s Refuge), and, of course, Jane Gentry. I cried when she left the valley but wished at the end that you would tell me more about what happened if she returns to the mountains. Will there be more?” A fan, Betty Smith. Balladeer, author of Jane Gentry: A Singer among Singers. www.bettysmithballads.com“Reading Sarranda…I did what I never do anymore in my surreal 21st century existence. My eyes devoured every single word (no skimming!)…halfway through I was metaphorically licking the plate as if cheesecake were on it. Next time you create a world and character like Sarranda, feel free to double the length of the reader’s pleasure.” Mona Rae Miracle, author of My Sister Marilyn. www.monaraemiracle.comCelia Miles, a native of western North Carolina, lives and writes in Asheville, NC.
