This book interested me because I have relatives from this area. Nate Randolph lives up in the mountains of North Carolina. He has acres of virgin wood that the lumber company would love to get their hands on. They will get it any way they can. Legally or not. Even if it means sneaking onto people's land and cutting down trees and dragging them off to be sold. Nate stand firm while trying to raise his girls to be wonderful upstanding people.

While reading this book I kept thinking it reminded me of someone that I knew. I finally put my finger on it. They reminded me of the Waltons Amy relatives.. Each family member is a unique person and celebrated for that and accepted. They squabble; they have differences and in the end love each other dearly. Family comes first and yet even the neighbors are like family.
