Julia's Story — Laurie Stone

Julia's Story is based on many beautiful handwritten letters, lovingly penned by her daughters shortly after the death of their mother. The heroine of this story, Julia, descends from the notorious Caperton family, who were counted among some of the toughest and most resourceful leaders of the original pioneer settlers along the New River and Virginia frontier. It is a story of strength, courage and resiliency, not only describing the lives of Julia and her family, but also providing the reader with a glimpse into the lives of many families who carved out a living in the beautifully majestic yet harsh Appalachian region.
