'I was able to visualize the old house and the mountain man as if I were there. I loved your description of the snake handlers and the holler... actually ALL of it!' -Diane Garrett, KY. 'You are a wonder beyond compare! Nostalgia and reverie that enthralled and delighted us all!' -Ladye Margaret Arnold, TN In this mystical redemption story, an old mountain man finds salvation in his own creek on a clear autumn day. Wander the yellow and scarlet hills of West Virginia on a clear autumn day. Drive down the dusty road to the old man's house and find beans, cornbread and sweet well-water on the table for supper. Encounter the fire of a Pentecostal preacher's altar call, feel the pain of judgement from others as he seeks God; walk down through his pasture - through the knee high grass and the Queen Anne's lace and the blackberry briers. Stand on the soft sandy bank of Second Creek and watch mountain baptisms in the waist-high, freezing cold waters of the creek. See the joy of belonging in the shivering faces of those who enter it's waters and listen to guitars and mandolins on Amazing Grace, Shall We Gather at the River and Wayfarin Stranger as you are transported into another place and time through the lilting, lyrical Celtic voice of The Singer of Stories.
