The Story Keeper The Story Keeper

Publisher Description

Not since To Kill a Mockingbird has a story impacted me like this.“ – COLLEEN COBLE, USA Today bestselling author of Seagrass Pier

“Wingate is, quite simply, a master storyteller. Her story-within-a-story, penned with a fine, expressive style, will captivate writers and nonwriters alike.” – Booklist

Successful New York editor, Jen Gibbs, is at the top of her game with her new position at Vida House Publishing – until a mysterious manuscript from an old slush pile appears on her desk. Turning the pages, Jen finds herself drawn into the life of Sarra, a mixed-race Melungeon girl trapped by dangerous men in the turn of the century Appalachia. A risky hunch may lead to The Story Keeper’s hidden origins and its unknown author, but when the trail turns toward the heart of the Blue Ridge Mountains, a place Jen thought she’d left behind forever, the price of a blockbuster next book deal may be higher than she’s willing to pay.

• A beautifully written contemporary novel with hints of romance

A Very Relatable Novel

Another great book within the series. So many relatable incidents within the storyline. I love how accents of God is inserted in but doesn’t overwhelm the story with religion. Just a beautiful tale.

Pure Birdie Fun ,

Boring

Ugh, this book was disjointed and boring. I struggled to finish, but hung in there on the hopes of at least something happening between the two main characters only to be left with a kiss on the cheek. Bad read.
