These Healing Hills

By: Ann H. Gabhart

Narrated by: Emily Pike Stewart

When a young woman's plans for her future fall apart at the close of World War II, she discovers new purpose as a midwife in the hills of Kentucky - and a possible chance at new love.

Francine Howard has her life all mapped out until the soldier she planned to marry at WWII's end writes to tell her he's in love with a woman in England. Devastated, Francine seeks a fresh start in the Appalachian Mountains, training to be a nurse midwife for the Frontier Nursing Service.

Deeply affected by the horrors he witnessed at war, Ben Locke has never thought further ahead than making it home to Kentucky. His future shrouded in as much mist as his beloved mountains, he's at a loss when it comes to envisioning what's next for his life.

When Francine's and Ben's paths intersect, it's immediately clear that they are from different worlds and value different things. But love has a way of healing old wounds...and revealing tantalizing new possibilities.

Great narration!

The story good although I would’ve liked a bit more at the end. I also really liked the characters. The narration was great and the narrator has a great singing voice which is always a bonus!

good story

I really enjoyed the story. I wish it hadn't ended where it did because it felt incomplete. I also enjoyed the narrator. I felt she was a little to intense in places.

Very enjoyable listen!

The story was easy to follow and moved along at a good pace. So enjoyable to listen to a story without vulgarity and sex!

Very engaging!

It was extremely interesting! It has lots of adventure, romance, as well as exposure to a completely different Culture!

Loved It!

I loved this story from start to finish. It made me want to traipse through the mountains and meet the characters...
