"Walt Larimore can write! He weaves a tale that will take you into the coves of the Great Smokey Mountains and introduce you to the hearts of its noble people.

""Sugar Fork" takes a unique look back to a lost and almost forgotten era in the history of the industrial age of the southern Appalachian Mountains--a transitional period in the history of Western North Carolina. As the fictional characters of "Sugar Fork" interact with figures whose names grace the pages of both local and national history books these characters come alive. I am delighted with "Sugar Fork"!"--Judy Andrews Carpenter, director of The Proctor Revival Organization
"The Randolph family could easily fall apart trying to survive in the Great Smoky Mountain wilderness. The captivating stories and colorful voices of these characters, their lives and struggles, will stay with you long after you reluctantly come to the end. A good old-fashioned novel."--Julie L. Cannon, author of Twang
"Come hike with me through the virgin Smoky Mountain forest, along stream beds lush with trilliums, ferns, and orchids. Contrast this spectacular beauty with the simple life of an orphaned Southern Highlands maiden. See hope, faith, and love conquer hate and greed in a setting where good, simple folk wrestle evil in the bygone world of old Appalachia. Walt Larimore has done it once again in his powerful, heart-string, tugging page-turner, "Sugar Fork.""--Eric Wiggin, author of The Hannah's Island series, Bridge Over Coal Creek, and The Recluse
