Summary:Â A young suffragist on the run finds more than refuge in the hills and hollers of Tennessee in this gripping historical romance from USA Today bestselling author Tamera Alexander.
1905. Josephine Dunham is running for her life. After a women’s suffrage rally in Atlanta turns deadly, she buys a one-way ticket on the first train out and lands in rural Tennessee. There, Dodge Coburn―a rough-edged stranger with undeniable appeal―begrudgingly offers her a ride to Lynchburg, a speck of a town where Josephine hopes to disappear.
Battered and desperate, Josephine has little to say when Dodge delivers her to Miss Mary Bobo’s Boarding House. Hoping to work in exchange for room and board, she soon discovers the only job matching her skills is at Jack Daniel’s Distillery, an irony not lost on a suffragist committed to prohibition.
Dodge is skeptical of Josephine’s claim that she’s on the run from an abusive husband. But between running Jack Daniel’s cattle farm and raising his young niece, he has little time or inclination to press her . . . at first. But when Josephine’s convictions and compassion draw him in, Dodge begins to reconsider the life he’s chasing, while Josephine must face a world far more complicated than the principles she’s held to.
As Jack Daniel’s Distillery gains national recognition, Josephine’s secrets resurface. In a place where whiskey making takes time but justice is too often hurried, Dodge and Josephine must decide what―and who―they’re willing to risk everything for, and whether faith will hold when the cost is high and time is running out.
Reviews:
In These Hills is a powerful, deeply satisfying novel of courage, forgiveness, and grace that reminds us that passion must be tempered by wisdom―and that true wisdom is forged through life, faith, and God’s gentle leading. From the harrowing opening to a richly rewarding epilogue, the story brims with unforgettable characters, beautifully rendered dialect, compelling chemistry between the hero and heroine, and memorable themes that resonate deeply. Francine Rivers, New York Times bestselling author of Redeeming Love and The Lady’s Mine
As soon as I started reading In These Hills I couldn’t stop. Tamera Alexander has created a riveting tale, beautifully told, that shines light on the sacrifices women made for the right to vote. The story is excellently researched and peopled with endearing characters, including a fun peek into the life of Jack Daniel of whiskey fame. This is a tender romance with rich, spiritual depth. A must-read. Lynn Austin, award-winning author of The Lumber Baron’s Wife
[In These Hills is] such a unique combination of history, humor, and hope! Never predictable, the tale offered numerous surprises along the way and compelled me to keep turning pages―yet feel bereft when I reached the last one. Highly recommended. Deborah Raney, author of Playing for Keeps and The God Who series
[In These Hills] captivated me. I’ve studied the history of this area and the distillery . . . and Tamera has brought Jack Daniel and Miss Mary Bobo to life in a way that feels true and genuine. . . . She’s worked hard to get it right. Mike Northcutt, historian and president of the Moore County Tennessee Historical and Genealogical Society
