The mountains have imprisoned her long enough... Edna Sue O'Connell came back to the Kentucky hills out of duty and can't wait for the chance to escape again. Her work as a horseback librarian in rural Appalachia provides enough income for her invalid father to survive in the midst of the Great Depression, but it affords her with little else. When an opportunity arises for Edna to take on an additional book delivery area, she spies a glimmer of hope that she might find a way out of Willow Hollow after all... and that she might actually make something of her life apart from the tragedy that has filled it thus far. But the new routes give Edna more than she ever bargained for. Slowly, she finds that the mountains contain many valuable secrets - if she has the grit to meet them. The Secret Place of Thunder is part of the Librarians of Willow Hollow multi-author novella collection. Each novella stands on its own but is connected to the others in this historical Christian fiction series set in 1930s Appalachia.
