Have you read this book yet? It’s stunning…
It’s about here,
these beautiful mountains and the magic they contain.
And it’s about her people,
people here,
and I swear,
I will see those around me differently
because of this book.
Edie met the author, Amy Greene, {a local gal} at our fall festival and invited her to our book club. She graciously accepted.
We ate lunch and chatted…
{Note: we ate and she chatted… just being honest!}
We shared this beautiful view of those mountains…
And listened to the melody of her words…
She signed her book…
And made us laugh talking about bad hairdos…
and Dollywood and raising young’uns.
And that was just it, what made it so wonderful.
She’s a mom like you and me,
and she had a dream,
a “calling”…
And she was true to it…
Even while fulfilling promises of roller coasters and trains
and funnel cakes and sausages…
I realized that I love these mountains, too…
{something you may have noticed in my pictures?}
and that maybe I judge people without knowing the paths they walk.
And by her example,
if there’s a calling within,
a drive to create,
we should answer.

Thanks for visiting with us, Amy, and thanks for organizing, Edie.
