Does anyone here read Sharyn McCrumb? Specifically the Ballad Books? I've read them all
The Ballad of Frankie Silver (based on a true story)
The Songcatcher
Ghost Riders (based on true story)
The Rosewood Casket
She Walks These Hills
The Hangman's Beautiful Daughter (havent been able to find this one yet)
If ever I Return Pretty Peggy-O (havent found this one either)
They are making a movie out of The Rosewood Casket, and while this is my least fav of the set I still thoroughly enjoyed it.
I can never decide which is my absolute favorite, but as I am on a "civil war in the north carolina mountains" kick Ghost Riders (about one of the few female disguised as a male soldiers) in the war.
Sharyn has a way of weaving history and present day in such a way that makes the books really hard to put down for me. Each book has two stories going on at once, one in the past and one in the present and somewhere in there they tie together.
