Sweet Music On Moonlight Ridge (The Moonlight Ridge Series Volume 1) by Ramey Channell is a captivating and charming novel set in Alabama in the nineteen-fifties. Lily Claire and Willie T. are cousins; their mothers are sisters. They were born on the same day, at the same time, in the same hospital, and in the same room. Granny declared that because their mothers brawled with each other during their delivery, the two cousins were marked with a lifetime of squabbling.
Although they do have their skirmishes, Lily Claire and Willie T. are rarely separated and are adept at causing devilment. Performing a rain dance that ruins a perfectly sunny day, or following a treasure map they find from an unexpected source, Lily Claire and Willie T. live in a world that is simple yet complicated. There's rain and sunlight, birth and death in their world, and no matter what they did on the mountain, they did it together. Keeping their eyes out for the wolfeener, the awfullest scary booger, Lily Claire and Willie T. spend their days exploring the untamed and mystical world of the mountain they live on. What can possibly happen?
Sweet Music On Moonlight Ridge (The Moonlight Ridge Series Volume 1) by Ramey Channell is a humorous and delightful tale about Lily Claire and Willie T. and their childhood escapades on Moonlight Ridge. It is an enchanting story depicting a child's perspective of her world and how she perceives the magic in the normal and the strange occurrences she and her relatives encounter. Ms. Channell captures and embodies the mountain's otherworldly essence that is hidden just beyond the veil and blends it with the love of hearth and home. Despite the fact that the lives of the characters are fraught with hardship, they confront it with courage and strength. Lily Claire and Willie T.'s exploits are entertaining and humorous, capturing the reader's imagination. This bewitching narrative reaches deep into the soul where the longing for family and community resides. This is an incredible story that brought back fond memories of my own childhood. I laughed, loved, and cried through Lily Claire's and Willie T.'s antics. It is an amazing novel and I am so glad that I had the opportunity to read it.
