I was so happy to revisit Mary Breckenridge's Wendover and the Frontier Nursing Service. This time we meet Piper Danson who volunteers to serve as a courier with the FNS for one very special summer. We once again get to experience the strong mountain people of Kentucky as Piper adapts to their ways. Piper's hopes for the summer were to do something different, something important, to experience life, but mostly to forget about men and her father's expectations. How surprised she was when not one, but two men follow her to the mountains of eastern Kentucky!
Ann H. Gabhart is a master storyteller. Her characters have depth and feel like real folks, like someone you might know. Gabhart draws you into the setting without lots of flowery words of description, something I really appreciate. I highly recommend An Appalachian Summer, and am grateful to have received a copy from Revell via NetGalley in exchange for my honest opinion. I was under no obligation to provide a positive review, and received no monetary compensation.

Piper Danson has lived a life of privilege. Even though many families in the USA lost everything, her family is still quite wealthy. Piper's mother insists that Piper have a debutante ball, she hates every minute of it. Her best friend Jamie Russell wasn't invited to the ball, because his family lost their fortune. Braxton Crandall of a railroad empire is whom her father chooses to be her husband. What can Piper do? She does the only thing she can, she runs!
Her Aunt Truda Danson hosts a tea, giving a lady who has started a charitable mission high in the Appalachians a chance to do a little fundraising and also recruit some couriers to come help the staff take care of the horses for the Frontier Nursing Service that she started.
The FNS is a wonderful medical mission whose goal is to decrease maternity mothers and their infants' premature deaths. They not only provide prenatal care, but also shots and medical supplies to all who are in the area.
I thoroughly enjoyed this book, I can picture myself it Piper's shoes, except that my family wasn't rich and my marriage wasn't an arranged one. Read the book and find out what happens with Piper's future.
I am very thankful to LibraryThing for the complimentary copy of this book. I was under no obligation to post a review.
