Hymns of Blue Hollow, a historical fiction romance novel set in the rugged hills of 1940s Tennessee, where survival, love, and secrets burn beneath the surface.

Esther Primm has lived her life under her grandmother’s iron grip, bound to the dangerous world of moonshining. But when taken in by Clarissa Johnson, a Black woman with her own secrets, Esther must learn to survive in a new world—a place she was warned never to go. There she meets Ian Huggler, a brooding German man haunted by his past, whose quiet strength sparks a forbidden passion.

As their love grows, threats close in—a preacher with a twisted obsession, a sheriff who never stops watching, and a community where silence can be deadly. To survive, Esther must risk everything for the chance at the life she longs for.

For readers of The Book Woman of Troublesome Creek, The Nightingale, and The Giver of Stars, this sprawling Southern saga blends lyrical storytelling with the grit of resilience. A novel perfect for book clubs, Hymns of Blue Hollow is a historical fiction that will linger long after the last page.

Can be read as a standalone or as part of the ongoing Hymns of Blue Hollow series.
