The Story Keeper
The Story Keeper | Lisa Wingate
7 posts | 11 read | 7 to read
2015 Christy Award winner! 2015 Carol award winner! When successful New York editor Jen Gibbs discovers a decaying slush-pile manuscript on her desk, she has no idea that the story of Sarra, a young mixed-race woman trapped in Appalachia at the turn of the twentieth century, will both take her on a journey and change her forever. Happy with her life in the city, and at the top of her career with a new job at Vida House Publishing, Jen has left her Appalachian past and twisted family ties far behind. But the search for the rest of the manuscript, and Jen’s suspicions about the identity of its unnamed author, will draw her into a mystery that leads back to the heart of the Blue Ridge Mountains . . . and quite possibly through the doors she thought she had closed forever.

Lisa Wingate has quickly become one of my favorite authors. I have loved everything I‘ve read by her and this is no exception. It‘s a book about family, love, stories and the people of Appalachia.

Book 3 for #marchunshelving @Clwojick

This book. It‘s been a while since I‘ve been sucked in like this. I first got it as an audiobook. Then, I got hooked and found myself listening to it while doing things around the house. Then, it was Friday, and I knew I couldn‘t take it anymore so I got the book version. I can‘t put my finger on it, but I fell in love with Jen. Wonderful book. Looking forward to more by this author

This book was so good. A story of Appalachia, how many multi racial and ethnic groups that live there. The story of History, hope and books.

Bailedbailed

I tried this on audiobook and had to bail today. I just did not care for the narrator for the story part and could not keep focused. I see this has great reviews in various places, so I will keep my eye out for the book itself. I am weird with audiobooks. I have to really work at them sometimes. The wrong narrator or content can make it impossible for me to focus.

Coco I just recently bailed on an audio too, gonna try the print version like u! 7y
