Cold Mountain
Grove Press (2006)
$14.95

This story is a beautiful love story that evades sentimentality, but nonetheless grabs your heart and the rest of your guts in one firm heave.  This story is also an odyssey of one man’s struggle to return home amidst a series of extraordinary challenges, against the backdrop of the civil war-ravaged South. 

The home that the protagonist, Inman, seeks is the land just beside Cold Mountain, southwest of Asheville, in the Shining Rock Wilderness section of Pisgah National Forest.  Cold Mountain itself is a phenomenal trip for present-day hikers and backpackers, and readers of this book will spot many landmarks on Inman’s route that are recognizable today.       ~ C.
