Book Description
Located just seconds from the winding Tennessee border, the remote mountain settlement of Lost Cove, North Carolina was once described as where the "moonshiner frolics unmolested." Today, Lost Cove is a ghost town accessible mainly to hikers hoping to catch a glimpse of the desolate settlement. In this first historically comprehensive book on Lost Cove, the author paints a portrait of an isolated yet thriving settlement that survived for almost one hundred years. From its founding before the Civil War to the town's ultimate decline, Lost Cove's history is an in-depth account of family life and kinship in isolation. The author explores historically relevant interviews and genealogical findings from railroad documents, old newspaper articles, church records and deeds. Also included are oral histories that provide authentic, conversational accounts from families in the cove.

Book Description
The story takes place between the years 1926-1946 and is written in the language of the mountain people of that time and those with the beautiful Southern drawl from the Deep South that moved into the area. It is a return to the times that use to be, but will never be again. Two families, the Kidwells from Alabama and the Wilsons from Tennessee and Ohio move into a small town deep inside the Great Smokey Mountains called Hamilton, Tennessee, from different backgrounds and for different reason, but with only one motive, to make a new life for themselves. The children grow up sharing lifes experiences with each other and their newfound friends. Love, marriage, births, disappointments and death become a part of their lives. The loving parents struggle with the hardships of a deep depression that gripped the country at that time. With the onset of World War Two many changes come into their lives, some good, some bad, but they would survive because they already knew what hard times were like. The Kidwells from Alabama are loggers that come into the Cove to harvest much needed timber for their Company. The Wilsons move back to Tennessee from Ohio to get away from the harsh winters that cut into their earning power as carpenters. The Patriarch of the Wilson family must give up his work as a carpenter for health reasons, buys a small farm and returns to his younger days as a tobacco farmer.

Book Description
Four weeks after my mother's death in 1992, I discovered a charred sea chest in her attic. In it was a dove-gray logbook that contained the journal of Jeremiah Vann. "Lost Cove" is his story of five generations of two families: the Vanns and Pearsons. From the days of the Cherokee, through slavery and the Civil War, to the 1950s, they lived and died in a Tennessee valley - Lost Cove - completely surrounded by mountains. The following is an excerpt from Jeremiah's journal in April 1942 - "Even though I was a boy when it all happened, and even though I loved my mother dearly, there was a long time in my life when I believed what she had done with Captain Taggert was wrong, and that she was partly to blame for his death - but as I grew older and committed my own sins I began to think, who am I to stand in judgment of my mother who had loved me and cared for me without anyone's help, and who am I to judge anyone, even the Taggerts, for I have done terrible things in my life: I have been a drunkard and been lascivious, and I have cursed God, and I have killed three people - so who am I to judge anyone?" From the Unpublished Autobiography of Jeremiah Vann, as told in "Lost Cove"

Felicity Hawthorne has never been superstitious. Coming from a long line of Appalachian healers, she's helped Nan cast grounding spells and left gifts of candy and moonshine for the fair folk, but was any of it real? Not likely. But when Felicity spots a mysterious boy at school that no one else can see, she begins to question the true origins of her family's beliefs, as well as her place within it. Could magic really exist? Were all of Nan's stories true? Were her parents really who they seemed to be? Desperate for answers, Felicity follows the boy deep into the forest to discover a secret world lost to time itself. Too late, Felicity realizes the truth has consequences, that her search may come with a price she is unwilling to pay.
