Overview

Maggie's Mountain Song takes the reader on a journey through the Appalachian Mountain region near Boone North Carolina during the 1930's-1940's. The story is told through Maggie's Mountain dialect as she recalls her idyllic childhood, and the highs, and lows of her life from her later years. Maggie takes the reader on a descriptive ramble over the farm she grew up on and the days of family togetherness, work, school, community, and human relationships and World War Two. Maggie recounts her Granddad Spencer who tells the oral history of their ancestors that came to America from Scotland and Ireland in the 18th century and is a devout Christian who helps Maggie to grow as a person and helped guide her through a personal journey of forgiveness and surrender. Maggie tells of her relationship with Robbie Bruce, as first the boy, then the young man and soldier. From their childhood days of devoted companionship, to exchanged letters during World War Two, that connected Deep Gap and the battlefields of Europe. The 1940 flood in Appalachia and World War Two are real events, and the timeline of the 30th Infantry Division in World War Two as told through Robbie's letters to Maggie are true to history.
