Book Description
“It had my heart racing and my stomach clenching with anxiety. Then the end was written so beautifully and demonstrated the writer’s gift with thought and word. I will read anything she writes.” Lola Copeland, Goodreads Reviewer Inspired by the courageous and passionate pack horse librarians of the 1930s, Where Green Meets Blue intertwines the roots of The Giver of Stars with all the imagination and resilience we love in Anne of Green Gables. Marian lives in a world of her making, protected by her own cleverness and the characters of her mother's books. Drawing from their strength, she forges her escape from a brutal childhood and takes to the wild. There she finds hope in a rare position for women, tucked into the Appalachians, working as a pack horse librarian. Though it requires her to venture along cliff edges and through iced-over creeks, she knows what magic she carries in her pack to those isolated mountain families. It's in a small cabin that she begins teaching a handsome widower's two children how to read and discovers new kinds of love, different from any she has known. Yet as danger closes in, Marian must decide between all she has ever wanted—to be as free as the birds—and a dream she has only just begun to believe in. Raw and lyrical, Where Green Meets Blue is a mesmerizing novel of love, resilience, and the belief that a story, like a pressed flower in a book, can help us hold onto all that is beautiful. Readers are Loving Where Green Meets Blue: “This book will suck you in and not let you go until a tear falls down your cheek at the last page. I loved every moment of it and definitely recommend reading it. You'll fall in love with the characters, hold your breath during the climax, and have your heart burst wide open at the ending. A fantastic uplifting read!” Melissa W. “I started it one day and ended up staying up til 2 am to finish it the following night! Positive, uplifting and refreshing!!” Mallory Pierce “I love the turn of phrase, the passion, the breath of good books taking flight and giving to the reader - hope, courage, strength. It was a marvelous tale. Loved it.” Kindle Customer, from Australia “In Beenfield’s books...I love how I always come away seeing my life with new eyes. I love how she weaves in real-lived details of history I didn't know before. I love how I can feel what the main character is feeling. I love how the first pages grab me and never let go.” JB “These words, this book... I felt as if parts were written just for me. Some to remind me or encourage me. Sometimes a book is more than just a good story!” Christina “I loved reading this book and would recommend it to anyone, both young and old, especially those that have struggled with a relationship or given up on their dreams of true love and happiness.” Nila Bladen “Beautifully written with fresh imagery, Beenfield weaves together a memorable story of overcoming our past and embracing the bright future. Readers will love the classic literature references and a glimpse into the noble lives of historic “book women” of the Great Depression.” Amy B. “Such an incredible book, just teeming with imagery and there is such a connectedness of the reader with the story!! Beautifully made and inspiring!” Liz Barett “I lOVED IT! I loved the romance and loved learning about the book women. It was fascinating reading and thinking about how books can and do change children's lives! Adults lives too. I loved the whole story!” Marti Kunz “I've never read an author who describes her character's physical sensations—fear, attraction, etc—as exquisitely as this author does...Sigh. It's always hard when the book ends!” Laura With its emphasis on the impact of literature, Where Green Meets Blue makes an excellent choice for book clubs or gift for book lovers.
