Some wrongs don't die with the condemned.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDeep in the shadow-draped hollows of Cripple Creek, Virginia, a woman named Edith Calloway was tried, condemned, and cast out by her own mountain kin - not for evil, but for knowing too much. A root healer. A keeper of old ways. A woman the ridge folk feared because she could not be controlled.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eShe vanished into the hollow on a January night in 1887. But before she disappeared, she left behind one thing - a journal, hidden and locked, filled with names. The names of every family that condemned her. And a single entry beside one name that read only: \u003ci\u003eSoon.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThat name was Vance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGenerations later, Della Vance returns to her grandmother's mountain cabin to settle an estate and discovers the journal waiting for her - as though it always knew she was coming. What she finds inside is not a ghost story. It is something quieter and more devastating: a precise accounting of what her family did, written in the hand of the woman they destroyed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTo honor what Edith left behind, Della must walk the same hollow roads, find the descendants of the thirty-two families, and do the one thing her bloodline has avoided for a hundred and thirty-seven years - speak the truth out loud, in the place where the wrong was done.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe hollow has been holding something since 1887. It's been waiting for someone with the courage to take it back.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003ePerfect for fans of dark Appalachian folklore, Southern Gothic fiction, and haunting tales rooted in the old mountain ways.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ida Mae Calloway\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798250532556\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Independently Published\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/03\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 370\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.09lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.77d","brand":"Ida Mae Calloway","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48520340832511,"sku":"9798250532556","price":21.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_db21fef6-cbe6-433f-9fc6-04bc7baf599f.jpg?v=1778742181","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/appalachian-whispers-ida-mae-calloway-9798250532556","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
