Hilltop House

Laura, sister to Marybeth in "Three Times a Mama" (Vol. 6 of the War Eagle River Series), finds herself a woman of different ideas who is stuck in a man's world at a time when certain careers were not open to girls. She feels that, other things being equal, she should have a chance at a career she loves. But there was a price to pay. When a woman in that era has different views, it is doubly hard to find someone to share them and one can end up with a lonely life. She'd like that house on the hill, and she was determined. Will she manage? Well, it wouldn't be easy, but the answer is right in the story...

Author Joann Ellen Sisco perfectly captures the voice and soul of the southern Ozarks. People are people, no matter where they are, but the subtle culture and expression of language is unique to a place and time and no one masters this better for this distinctive section of America than Sisco.
