"Shines a nuanced light on rarely explored historical events."—Kirkus Reviews
"Full of a nuanced depiction of the Appalachian region, spirited girls who dream of greatness, and neighbors always ready to lend a hand. . . . The heart of this book will appeal to readers of such classic novels as Carol Ryrie Brink's Caddie Woodlawn."—Booklist
"With each page turn, you will fall more deeply into this time and place, with all its hard reckonings. But despite the darkness, light emerges. Your heart will be filled with it."—Kathi Appelt, Newbery Honor winner and National Book Award Finalist for The Underneath
"Cora's spirit shines so bright the pages glow. She's exactly the friend you'd want beside you when things are darkest." —Sara Pennypacker, New York Times bestselling author of Pax
"This book is an invitation to meet delightful characters, dwell in an enticing place, and learn about an important time in our shared history. I love books that blend darkness and light—both literally and figuratively—to tell the truth, ignite my empathy, and show me the world from a fresh perspective. This is such a book." —Lauren Wolk, Newbery Honor–winning author of Wolf Hollow
Cora Mae Tipton knows every inch of Shadow Mountain. In the shade of the towering trees, amidst the thickets, streams, and smokehouses, the rhythm of life around her beloved holler hasn't much changed for generations.
Until now.
For the first time, electrical power is coming to the rural communities of eastern Kentucky.
Cora knows in her heart how much good could come of it.
Electrical power means progress. Connection to the outside world. More light.
And electricity might just help make her dreams of a life beyond Shadow Mountain come true.
Cora is determined to rally her community in support of electrification. But if she has any hope of succeeding, it's going to mean convincing the one person determined to stand in her way-and opening her own heart to the truth that there are, indeed, two sides to every story.
