Waiting for You

THE PREQUEL NOVELLA TO THE POPULAR APPALACHIAN MOUNTAIN MYSTERIES SERIES

"LYNDA McDANIEL WRITES WONDERFUL BOOKS about human kindness in this series featuring Abit and Della, originally neighbors, but now family. Totally heartwarming and inspirational."

Laurel Falls, N.C., 1981-1984

Waiting for You isn't quite a mystery, though it does solve the mystery of how the two distinctly different protagonists in the series ever found one another.

Della Kincaid, a crime reporter in Washington, D.C., has grown weary of covering all the violence in the nation's capital. Not to mention she's split from her philandering husband and lost a friend to suicide. Put another way, her life is falling apart.

She takes a journey to a log cabin in the Black Mountains of North Carolina, a place she'd written about years ago. One of those idyllic stories about getting away from it all—written from the confines of her desk in D.C. Now she wants to see it in person. Little does she know the journey she is imparting on takes her well beyond that cabin.

Abit Bradshaw, a teenager struggling to find his rightful place in the world, can't see how he'll ever make anything of himself. It doesn't help that everyone tells him he's a no count, and he's beginning to believe it. But a fateful spell in front of his father's failing store—Coburn's General Store—and a wave he can't take back set in motion a life he could never have imagined.

If you love Elly Griffiths, Sue Grafton, and William Kent Krueger, you're sure to enjoy the Appalachian Mountain Mysteries series.

Get it now—for the rich natural setting, colorful characters, and suspenseful investigations.
