Hello! I just read with interest your 2013 blog post about the ten best books set in Appalachia. I would like to add to your list DAHLIA IN BLOOM, a middle grade historical fiction novel aimed at readers ages 7-12. Set in 1933 in the Blue Ridge Mountains, this book chronicles the story of Dahlia, a young girl whose family leaves their isolated ancestral home to become tenant farmers during the Great Depression. DAHLIA IN BLOOM received a starred review from Kirkus Reviews and was a featured indie in the June 1 issue of Kirkus Magazine. It is available in both print and digital format from Amazon, as well as from Ingram Distribution and select independent book stores.
