Book Cover of Lucinda's Mountain

 

 

Lucinda Harmon struggles to break away from the sheltering bonds of family and from the mountain traditions to which McDowell County still clung to during the 1950s. Her goal was a bigger and broader world through the realm of education. In striving for her goal, she encounters resistance from family, religious strictures, and traditional roles for women. She also struggles with the love of two men, one who challenges her to risk the unknown, and another who overwhelms her with possessive love.

 

 

 

 

Review
