Mountains of Trouble is based on the life of a common woman embroiled in extraordinary circumstances. It is 1912, and eighteen-year-old Cora is on a train to Kentucky, escaping her domineering mother's low expectations for Cora's life. She is hired to teach in a one-room schoolhouse in a Christian mission in the Appalachian Mountains, which she happily enjoys for many years. Until the unthinkable happens. Cora becomes caught in a nest of trouble she didn't create and can't seem to escape. As pain seems to follow her at every turn, she wonders if God has abandoned her. She is haunted by past decisions that threaten to keep her heart caged. But Cora never gives up searching and hoping. Her story is one of courage and resilience that will resonate with today's readers
