The Hills of Pride — Mary Sheppard

Award winning historical novelist Mary Sheppard returns to writing marvelous novels after a twenty year absence with the first novel in a gripping trilogy. Jamelle Montgomery begins the saga as a sheltered ingénue, an impressionable teenage girl of the South. With each fear, loss and threat she endures, her innocence is progressively stripped away and a resourceful, wise, strong young woman emerges. Then there are two young men, one in gray and one in blue, each with a claim upon her heart. The story begins in Virginia's hills of pride.
