The Maid Of The Whispering Hills (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781162701196)

The Maid of the Whispering Hills is a novel by Vingie E. Roe, published in 1918. The story is set in the Appalachian Mountains of Kentucky and revolves around the life of a young girl named Joan. Joan is a spirited and independent young woman, who lives with her father in a remote cabin in the hills. She is known for her beauty, her courage, and her fierce determination to protect her family and her land from outsiders.The novel begins with Joan's encounter with a handsome stranger named David. David is a city man who has come to the hills to explore the region and to write a book about its people and their way of life. Joan is immediately drawn to David, but she is also wary of him, knowing that outsiders have often brought trouble to her people.As Joan and David get to know each other, they begin to uncover a dark secret that has been hidden in the hills for generations. They discover that there is a powerful and dangerous group of men who are determined to take control of the land and the people who live on it. Joan and David must work together to uncover the truth and to protect their home and their way of life.The Maid of the Whispering Hills is a powerful and moving story of love, courage, and determination. It is a timeless tale of the struggle between good and evil, and of the human spirit's ability to overcome even the greatest challenges.Picturesque they were, in their fringed buckskin cunningly tanned and beaded, their feathers and their ornaments of elk teeth and claws of the huge, thick-coated bears. At day-dawn they came, having camped for the night a short distance above the fort, to the letter display of their arrival, and they swept down in a flotilla of graceful craft made of the birch bark and light as clouds upon the water.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
