When the Sun Shines Through Written by Mary Edwards-Olson
“Within the chapters, the reader is launched into feelings of joy, sadness, and even anger, yet desiring to continue the experiences of humble, yet challenging mountain life.”
—Craig M. Ashbrook, Author of Wait For Me, Boys! Wait For Me!
“It is always wonderful to work with other writers, especially other women who have looked deeply into their own souls. We find that we are not alone in the problems we face. And their words give us hope…as yours will give hope to many.”
—Helen S. Owens, Author of a historical novel, Stand and Face the Morning
“An enjoyably, painfully, well-written story of a girl who had to grow up in the mountains of Southwest Virginia with antiquated adults governing over her. It is a real honest reflection of the ideologies of the fifties and sixties and the gender inequalities that existed during that era. The tone, dialect and mannerisms, in part, have endured with the people of the Appalachian Mountains into the twenty-first century.”
—J. Michael O’Connor, Author of Ghosts of my Mind,

Where Have All the Mountains Gone? And Other Short Stories Written by Billy W. Harp
Looking back to living in Florida in the mid-20th century, times were hard. However the people that lived through this time hardly knew it. Where Have All the Mountains Gone?, is a collection of short stories of the many methods of survival that are now obsolete. Most people today have no idea of how people survived during that era. These stories are an attempt to record and preserve, in an entertaining way, many of life-shaping events that still march through my memory.
A special book launching by author Mary Edwards-Olson with her debut book, When the Sun Shines Through will be held the week of September 29–October 5 at Barnes & Noble of Johnson City. See the ad below for more information.
