"Miracle from the Mountain" is the retelling of the legend of Hazel. Deep in the hollows of the Ozark Mountains, Bella finds a newborn baby girl. She names the child Hazel. Bella raises the child as her own, teaching her the art of healing. The town people look down on Bella and Hazel, believing them to be beneath them. When Bella dies, a spiteful Mattie has Hazel brought down from the mountain. Hazel is a resourceful young woman. She learns from those around her. Soon she is helping all those she meets. She brings love into the life of many people.

"Miracle from the Mountain" is a love story of a different kind. Hazel is a kind, loving character, but with a strong mind and body. The author has a talent for characterization. Even the secondary characters are well developed. The plot is fascinating. It captured my attention from the first page and held it to the last. My one complaint was the proofreading. This book badly needs editing, otherwise it would deserve a 5 star rating. I hope the author will continue to write; she is very talented.
