Touching Butterfly Wings — Jennifer Hale

"Touching Butterfly Wings"-filled with spiritual enlightenment, wholesome humor, and endearing romance-portrays the reality of life in the mountains of Appalachia during the 1950's. Raven-haired Elizabeth-a beautiful, spiritual, and compassionate young woman-has recently moved to Hardship, Kentucky with her widowed father, Josiah, and her younger brother, Charlie. The family is befriended by a neighboring man-Nate, whose mountain charm, rugged countenance, and good-hearted banter makes it difficult not to respond. Nate drinks too much and does not share her faith, yet Elizabeth feels strongly drawn to him. Little brother, Charlie, complements the story with appealing innocence and humor. The lives of an entire community are affected by the faith of a young woman who chooses to under gird all her relationships with trust in God. "Touching Butterfly Wings" is a faith journey that warms the reader's heart and calls one to read it again and again.
