About this title

Synopsis

A tale of small-town life in a mountain valley, where a respected, enigmatic doctor and a miller’s granddaughter find their fates tangled with faith, memory, and longing.

The story follows a winding footpath from the doctor’s door to Alicia’s cabin, through crowded rooms and quiet nights, as neighbors weigh duty, affection, and the pull of old beliefs.

• A tight-knit rural world with vivid details of cabins, herbs, and a silver doorplate that marks a man’s unexpected role in the community
• A romance shaped by differences in age, doubt, and the quiet choices people make for those they love
• Tension between healing work, personal longing, and the expectations of family and neighbors
• A sense of place that blends Appalachian landscapes with the shifting loyalties of its residents

Ideal for readers of historical southern fiction, character-driven stories, and novels that explore love and faith in close-knit communities.
