From the PublisherPraise for Sharyn McCrumb and her New York Times Bestselling Ballad Novels:
"Ms. McCrumb writes with quiet fire and maybe a little mountain magic....She plucks the mysteries from people's lives and works these dark narrative threads into Appalachian legends older than the hills. Like every true storyteller, she has the Sight." —The New York Times Book Review
"There are few writers today who are able to blend past and present, tradition and law, legends and headlines in a wholly credible fashion—Tony Hillerman springs inevitably to mind. Sharyn McCrumb is another; her widely acclaimed Ballad series is one of the finest being written today."—Bookpage
"McCrumb provides fresh evidence that there is no one quite like her among present-day writers.
