Life-long friendships, class differences, terrible mistakes, and the beauty of unspoiled nature are all the ingredients that make Whispering Winds of Appalachia so special.
Nestled between the smoky, rolling peaks of Southern Appalachia lies the town of Brevard, North Carolina. When Chris Avery’s family moves to Brevard in the early 1970s, Chris quickly becomes immersed in a world untouched by the mire of life outside the mountains.
As a young boy, Chris meets the son of the struggling dairy farmer next door, Walker Davis, and Walker’s best friend, Brook Palmer. The three of them become inseparable, bonded to each other as they are to the vibrant world in which their lives unfold. They spend the formative years of their childhood wandering in the woods chasing waterfalls and brook trout. However, they soon find out that life isn’t always so simple.
What once seemed like Heaven is hopelessly ripped apart at the seams when one of the characters commits an irrevocable mistake that challenges friendship, love, and Chris’s understanding of even himself. Grasping at straws of a fractured past, Chris is forced to pit his conscience against the people he loves, all while listening to the subtle, haunting voices laced in the wind.
Author John Ellington presents a heartfelt work of literary fiction, where readers will experience the sheer agony of irreversible choices and the consequences we must all face, set against Appalachian peaks towering over small, forgotten mountain towns.
Whispering Winds of Appalachia is the winner of the 2024 Gold Medal Southern Fiction IPPY Book Award and is a finalist for the 2024 Next Generation Indie Book Award.
This book is one of the most emotional and heartfelt fiction novels you will come across.
