Synopsis
A spirited young woman faces love, duty, and a wild world in a rugged mountain town. In Nancy the Joyous, Edith Stow invites readers into the life of Nancy Lynn as she travels, hides, and acts with fearless independence. The tale blends intimate moments with the bustle of a close-knit mountain settlement, where townsfolk, letters, and weather shape every choice.
The book follows Nancy as she builds friendships, navigates expectations, and meets a cast of colorful characters—from hunters and doctors to a kindly bishop and devoted aunts. Through vivid scenes in Swaggerty and on the ridge, the story explores courage, compassion, and the pull of distant horizons.
- Rich, rustic setting with authentic mountain life and communities.
- Character-driven moments of humor, longing, and resilience.
- Letters and conversations that reveal relationships and personal growth.
- A sense of adventure and discovery that spans landscapes and hearts.
Ideal for readers who enjoy character-forward fiction about love, travel, and frontier life.

Présentation de l'éditeur
But a subtle something in her, of which she was quite unconscious, stirred the blood the way it responds to the first subtle touch of spring. Other girls have tendrils of woodbrown hair that stray down across their cheeks, but with Nancy you had to fight down an impulse to touch them wonderingly. Her eyes were that violet blue of twilight, when the insistent voice of adventure whispers softly to you from behind the hills. It was, most of all, this distant, mocking call in her eyes that set men struggling to unhamper their feet and follow her.
