Welcome to #ThrowBackThursday where I highlight an older review or post a current review of a backlist title. This week, I’m featuring compelling historical fiction, Daughters of Green Mountain Gap by Teri M. Brown.

I’m linking up with Davida @ The Chocolate Lady’s Book Review Blog for #ThrowbackThursday.

My Summary:

Green Mountain Gap is the story of three women:

• Maggie (a generational healer known as a “granny woman”) is beloved by the small rural community and relies on traditions, folklore, and the Cherokee for her medical knowledge.
• Carrie (her daughter) has a university medical degree and is a trained nurse. Carrie is outspoken in her criticism of her mother’s reliance on herbs, roots, and mountain magic to heal her patients; Carrie puts her faith in modern medicine.
• Josie (Carrie’s daughter and Maggie’s granddaughter) doesn’t know who to believe and is caught in the middle. She has an interest in medicine and can see benefits to both methods.

Can Josie combine the two methods? Can she negotiate peace and understanding between her grandmother and mother?

Complicated family and medical drama…
