1910. The book begins: The days of that April had been days of mist and rain. Sometimes, for hours, there would come a miracle of blue sky, white cloud, and yellow light, but always between dark and dark the rain would fall and the mist creep up the mountains and steam from the tops-only to roll together from either range, drip back into the valleys, and lift, straightway, as mist again. So that, all the while Nature was trying to give lustier life to every living thing in the lowland Bluegrass, all the while a gaunt skeleton was stalking down the Cumberland-tapping with fleshless knuckles, now at some unlovely cottage of faded white and green, and now at a log cabin, stark and gray.

The Little Shepherd of Kingdom Come
My lovely long suffering spouse, a fan of McCrumb, recommended this one to me. I found it an interesting and educational historical novel. McCrumb weaves an engaging tale of Appalachia blending the perspective of contemporary fictional characters with those of historical characters. The author shows the Civil War in a light I'd not seen before with the stories of Union supporting guerrillas, committed Confederates and their modern descendants dealing with the lingering traumas from the war.
I'm often put off by the inclusion of supernatural elements into novels, but I like the way McCrumb brought folk magic and spirits into this book to link the present with cultural and personal wounds from the past. All of the characters felt real with natural voices and authentic motivations. I'll look for more books by Sharyn McCrumb and I'll look for one of the books she mentioned she found inspiration for her story from.
