Synopsis

B.J. Hoff's unforgettable characters from A Distant Music reunite for an even more gripping, dramatic episode in The Mountain Song Legacy.

When Maggie MacAuley returns to the small coal town of her childhood, she has no intention of staying. Her life is in Chicago now. There's nothing to keep her in Skingle Creek...

...nothing but the discovery that a man who has lived most of his life for the children of Skingle Creek is no longer the hero of Maggie's childhood but seems destined to become the love of her life.

In Maggie's quest for independence, she finds her greatest strength in sacrifice...and in her struggle to heal her family, she finds her heart renewed by love.

The Wind Harp the story of Maggie MacAuley, home for a visit to the small coal town of her childhood, but with no intention of staying. Her life is at Hull House in Chicago now. There's nothing to keep her in Skingle Creek.

Nothing but a sister who also returns home, bringing with her a dark, potentially devastating secret.

And nothing but the unexpected discovery that a man who was once the hero of Maggie s childhood now seems destined to become something more.
