What Momma Left Behind

By: Cindy K. Sproles

Narrated by: Erica Sullivan

In the face of overwhelming obstacles, she’ll need courage, grit, and a tender heart.

Worie Dressar is 17 years old when influenza and typhoid ravage her Appalachian Mountain community in 1877, leaving behind a growing number of orphaned children with no way to care for themselves. Worie’s mother has been secretly feeding several of these little ones on Sourwood Mountain. But when tragedy strikes, Worie is left to figure out why and how she was caring for them.

Plagued with two good-for-nothing brothers - one greedy and the other a drunkard - Worie must fight to save her home and the children now in her begrudging care. Along the way, she discovers the beauty of unconditional love and the power of forgiveness as she cares for all of Momma’s children.

Great story

Love this story and author. I love that all the emotion and feelings come through without foul and explicit language but the reader still feels the intensity of the story. This would make a great movie

An amazing gem.

it was a smooth story that leaves you guessing. the plot has a sweet surprise.

Couldn’t stop listening.

A great listen. I love the strength portrayed in God , self and family. Inspiring story.

Southern drawl.

Drawn out story line and too much “oh Lord” and “momma always said” repeatedly through the book.

the love and determination of one so young to take on all that she did with fierce love and passion.

Not one single thing. The story line, the narrator the characters and Bible verses filled me.
