More Description From the #1 New York Timesauthor of Before We Were Yours!"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"Not since To Kill a Mockingbirdhas a story impacted me like this."--Colleen Coble, USA Todaybestselling author of Seagrass PierSuccessful 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 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.2015 winner of both a Christy Award and a Carol Award.
