The dying Leola watched the Air Force pilot whom Anna loved, and
could never have, take her hand and lead her into the living room.
She had never seen a more beautiful scene. Anna's dress, sheen of
white, molded to the curves of her body in a whispering shuffle as
they danced to the soft music. Who could have known that the
ten-year-old motherless, freckle-faced, skinny child she had taken
as her own would grow to have such beauty and poise? What a bonus
for her to have character, leading her to love and nurse those old
war veterans under her care. Whether she was the tomboy in overalls
repairing a roof or visiting an old man at his whiskey still, there
was always the woman-a woman unlike any other. Here was the prize
of Leola's Mountain, always caring, educated with funds furnished
by a moonshiner and a carpet mill worker. Whether in a white gown
or a nurse's uniform, it quietly proclaimed all the purity that was
underneath. She was a mountain gal. She was Anna Beam. Brutal and
evil men came to harm her and Anna. Could the old moonshiner and
his misfit friends save them?
