Francine Howard has her life all mapped out - until the man she loves announces his plans to bring home an English bride from war-torn Europe in 1945.  Devastated, Francine seeks a fresh start in the Appalachian Mountains, training to be a nurse midwife for the Frontier Nursing Service. 

Deeply affected by the horrors he witnessed at war, Ben Locke has never thought further ahead than making it home to Kentucky.  His future shrouded in as much mist as his beloved mountains, he's at a loss when it comes to envisioning what's next for his life.

When Francine's and Ben's paths intersect, it's immediately clear that they are from different worlds and value different things.  But love has a way of healing old wounds...and revealing tantalizing new possibilities.

My Thoughts:
Ann H. Gabhart is a new author to me and I am thankful for discovering her writing.  These Healing Hills was a delightful read.  Gabhart transports readers to the hills of Kentucky with living color descriptions and believable characters.  I felt as though I could actually see the people and places within the pages of this book.  Francine and Ben's journey was a joy to experience.  The way Gabhart interspersed nuggets of faith was especially enjoyable.
