Judd Markley is a hardworking coal miner who rarely thinks much past
tomorrow until he loses his brother--and nearly his own life--in a mine
cave-in. Vowing never to enter the darkness of a mine again, he leaves
all he knows in West Virginia to escape to Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.
It's 1954, the seaside community is thriving, and Judd soon hires on
with a timber company.
Larkin Heyward's life in Myrtle Beach is
uncomplicated, mostly doing volunteer work and dancing at the Pavilion.
But she dreams of one day doing more--maybe moving to the hollers of
Kentucky to help the poor children of Appalachia. But she's never even
met someone who's lived there--until she encounters Judd, the newest
employee at her father's timber company.
Drawn together in the
wake of a devastating hurricane, Judd and Larkin each seek answers to
what tomorrow will bring. As opposition rises against following their
divergent dreams, they realize that it may take a miracle for them to be
together.
Judd is trying to recover from losing his brother due to a mine cave in. The same cave in that broke Judd's leg and left him with a limp. He moves to Myrtle Beach and starts working in a lumber camp. This is his journey to forgive himself for living. He meets Larkin whose goal it is to help the poor Appalachia mountain people. Her problem is that her dad is dead set against her doing anything except staying home, marrying well, and being a socialite. Larkin has to determine what is actually God's will.
I recommend this book to everyone. The only thing is I thought the book had a rather abrupt ending.
