Description
The Mountain by Helen Bryan Set against the backdrop of America's early history, this epic novel tells the story of a tight-knit community in the Commonwealth of Virginia. In 1783, the township of Grafton has flourished, bringing together European immigrants, Native Americans, indentured servants, and former slaves in a shared struggle for survival. As the years pass, the outside world begins to exert its influence on Grafton, driving change and testing loyalties. The Cherokees are rounded up and driven west, while the Civil War leaves a lasting shadow. Newcomers arrive, fortunes are won and lost, and the community must navigate the tumultuous march of history. Through multiple viewpoints, Helen Bryan explores the resilience, bravery, love, and unity that formed the foundation of the New World.
