Listen for Rachel — Lou Kassem

Rachel wonders if she'll ever be happy again. Her grandparents are loving and wonderful, but the mountains of Tennessee are a strange and lonely place for a young orphaned girl from Nashville. Would she ever fit in among the mountain people who ride horses, farm the land, and believe that at fifteen, Rachel should prepare for marriage?nnYet Rachel begins to understand as she learns the art of folk medicine and rides the rugged mountain trails to save lives. And as the Civil War rages in the land, romance comes into Rachel's life with all its happiness and anguish. It is then she knows that her heart belongs to both the Yankee soldier she loves and to the people of the beautiful mountains that have become her home.
