Witch of the Cumberlands by Mary Jo Stephens
Like hearing of the Cumberland area. 3 children are to come live at the house and Miss Birdie has put personal belongings around each of their rooms with hand made quilts. Loved hearing of how she selected who would get each one.
They are to live at the lodge with their father. The housekeeper waits for them. The father works as a doctor and she may have to spend the night to tend to the children.
They are from the city and the country of Kentucky is so different. She teaches them about others, the mine and it's workings and herbs and flowers.
Mystical mysteries surround the rock house and caves of the mines as the kids try to solve it ... Interesting turn of events as they learn of the past...
I received this book from National Library Service for my BARD (Braille Audio Reading Device).

Very satisfied with condition of this book! Great prices.
This is a wonderful book for adolescents, especially those growing up in Appalachia. I haven't read it in years, but I know that it kept me on the edge of my seat throughout!
I first read this book in 4th or 5th grade, and it was so unbelievably good that I eventually *took* it from my local library because I feared someone else would lose it! (Yes, I did pay for it as a lost book and was happy to do so.)

Author creates immediate tension w/setting and characters; the writing itself is very straight-forward, but also beautiful. You can see and smell the descriptions, and get goosebumps from the mysteries as they unravel. In all my years of avid readership, I've never read anything I liked better than this story. In fact, it's one of the reasons that I make my living as a writer today--I wanted to be able to make others feel the way I felt when I read this book.

It's considered "Young Adult Literature", I believe, and if you know any kids or young adults that love to read (or maybe need to be encouraged to read), this is the book I'd recommend. In addition to great writing, it's a fascinating look at rapidly-disappearing Appalachian culture (I remember people/places/events like this from my childhood, but they're slipping away). Wish there were more than five stars to give!
