Synopsis

With unflinching honesty and a survivor's grace and humor, Sarranda chronicles her life during the pre-and post-Civil War years in isolated western North Carolina's Greene Valley. From childhood when her father leaves for the California gold fields through a youthful marriage and the turbulent losses the war brings, she finds solace in her grandfather's love and at his grist mill and an unexpected awakening in the arms of an unnamed stranger. In a time disrupted, a family fragmented, and a land almost destroyed, Sarranda reveals the strength, endurance, and spirit of the mountain woman.
