Publisher Description
Sometimes a lie reveals a larger truth.
After a grueling school year, Kate escapes to Pocahontas County, West Virginia to rest and rejuvenate. Unfortunately, a hundred-year flood hits and turns her vacation into an emergency evacuation. After relocating to a mountaintop resort, she finds an unconscious man in the woods, a man who's face she would recognize anywhere. Her celebrity crush, Jeremy Fulton. When Jeremy regains consciousness, he introduces himself as Tim Jones and confides that he came into the wilderness to escape his hectic life. As they grow closer, Kate deals with the conundrum: can she let him know how she feels without telling him she knows his true identity.
Customer Reviews
I didn’t want to go.
Allegheny Front is a story about healing from wounds both old and new, physical and mental. It is well written, and speaks to the resolve of Appalachian kindness in times of disaster. The way the words illustrate a small West Virginia cast of characters is vibrant and authentic. I took a break from reading as I neared the end of the story’s time in West Virginia because I didn’t want to leave it behind.
I’m not one for romance stories, and the way the central characters come together is worthy of a Hallmark film setup; however, the way their relationship matures goes in an unexpected direction. It was painful in its realism to where I wished for that Hallmark happy ending to return. It all ends well, but it makes you earn it, and that’s what a good book is supposed to do.
