★★★★★
Goodreads | Amazon

Delilah Morrissey has always wanted to be a mother, but when she becomes a young widow, that dream now seems farther away than ever. Unable to continue to live alone in Chicago, her only option is to accept her sister's offer to move in with her family back in West Virginia. Will Delilah have the faith to pursue a new dream - even if it means giving up the old?

In this charming novella, debut novelist Sarah Loudin Thomas introduces readers to Wise, West Virginia - a small town nestled in an Appalachian valley where the everyday miracles of life and faith play out in stories of healing, hope, and love.

This brief yet beautiful novella, Appalachian Serenade, sets up Sarah Loudin Thomas’ upcoming novel, Miracles in the Dry Season, to be released on August 5th. Though short enough to easily read in one sitting, the story of Appalachian Serenade introduces readers to the small town of Wise, West Virginia and the quirky characters that inhabit it. Thomas composes a sweet, satisfying love story, while creating an interesting discussion of dreams and family. I enjoyed every minute of this quick trip to Wise and cannot wait for the chance to return in Miracles in the Dry Season.
