Cora of French Creek - Paperback

by Becky Foreman (Author)

From the Appalachian Mountains of West Virginia to the rolling hills of Ohio, "Cora of French Creek" chronicles the story of a young woman who lived a simple life like so many women of her era. Born and raised on the West Virginia land that has belonged to her family for over one-hundred years, Cora Perry loves the way the mist hangs on the mountains in the mornings. She savors waking to bird song every morning, and falling asleep each night to the sounds of hoot owls and whippoorwills. When the charming Hugh Cutright - a man who loves these mountains as much as she does - asks for her hand in marriage, Cora sees everything she has longed and prayed for coming true. Life, however, does not always unfold as we wish, and Cora's is no exception. But through triumph and tragedy, Cora passes on to her children the lesson that her parents instilled in her - that it is family that holds us together through good times and bad, stitching us together through the generations like the patches of a handmade quilt.
