CHARMING AND REFRESHING

Everything is in this book: romance, faith, tragedy,danger.

A coming of age story taking place in the late 1800s in the mountains of Kentucky at Troublesome Creek. The story centers around Copper, a teenager who lives with her Dad, Stepmom, and younger twin brothers.

There are many funny happenings in this story especially because of the young twins, Willy and Daniel. They are quite humorous.

Copper loves living in hese mountains and is very close to her young brothers and very helpful to the whole family. These people have a great faith and always looking for ways to live the way God wants them to.

Copper faces the biggest crossroads of her life when she meets young Dr. Simon Corbett. Her passions run as deep as Troublesome Creek, but will her heart lead to calmer waters?

This is the first of a trilogy. Book 2 is "Willow Springs" and Book 3 is "Torrent Falls".

Looking forward to reading these books as soon as I can.

Troublesome Creek, A Novel Worth Reading...

This story takes place in a mountainous region of rural Kentucky around 1881. For our main character we are introduced to Copper, a red-haired sixteen-year-old girl struggling through her teenage years. After causing the readers to become familiar with the current setting and family structure, Ms. Watson transports the readers back in time using a wonderful technique called flashback. Through this process, we become over-filled with emotion as we meet Will (Copper's father), Julie (Copper's mother), and Grace (Copper's step-mother). We are then returned to the current time and place with a strong emotional attachment to all characters in this book and then the story continues...

From the moment I opened this book and read the first paragraph I was captivated and knew that this book was to be refreshing. Full of love, heartache, laughter, and tears. Boy, was I right! Troublesome Creek is the best fictional novel that I have had the pleasure of reading in a very long time and I could not and would not put it down until I reached the end.

This novel was full of plot-twist, family devotion, faith, humor, tragedy, forgiveness, and romance! I found myself crying & spontaneously laughing out loud. Not only do I recommend Troublesome Creek, but I can not wait to read the following two books in this series. Willow Springs and Torrent Falls.

Could not put it down!

This first book by Jan Watson is enthralling, heart warming, and just plain great! You get so involved in Copper's life that you can't stop reading. Jan totally nails the language of the people in the hills of Kentucky and describes the area so well, you think you're there with Copper and her family. I loved this book and can't wait for Jan to write more!

Heartwarming

This book has touched me in such a deep, incredible way. I'm not one to cry in books, but this one had me crying all the way through! The characters are so alive and so real. The stories are so sweet and so tragic and so incrdibly touching. The book touched a spot in my heart that hasn't "felt" in a long time. I HIGHLY recommend this book, and I cannot wait to begin reading the swquel.
