author: Neeley, Rhiannon
description: Inspired by a true story If your husband left to help a friend and didn't return, only to be declared dead a few weeks later, would you have the strength to carry on? Elijah Sawyer disappears in 1922 leaving his wife, Martha, to scratch out a living with their two daughters and a bit of flat land on Yellow Mountain in the hills of Kentucky. Martha's world is shattered, but she is a strong southern woman with children to raise. She must endure. Her strength is tested over and over again, and all the she doesn't know that Elijah is actually still alive. So comes the story of love and laughter, sacrifice and struggle as Martha builds a life with her new husband, Nero, only to have it shaken when the man she has always loved and always will-Elijah-returns from the dead eight years after he disappeared from Yellow Mountain.
