The story follows one woman facing irrevocable change as she tries to preserve what remains of her family and mountain home, while another uncovers a shattered, mysterious family history long ago. Through Appalachian landscape, character-driven drama, and suspenseful discovery, the narrative explores belonging, heritage, and the meaning of home.","“􀀈e quest of the endearing characters in this poignant family drama captivated me from the 􀀖rst page. I loved stepping into the history and beauty of the Great Smoky Mountains and Karen Barnett’s expert weaving together of the past and present threads. Pure joy to read!”  \n—Melanie Dobson, award-winning author of 􀀉e Winter Rose and Catching the Wind  \n“Barnett’s tale set in the Great Smoky Mountains 􀀙ows as smooth as wildwood honey. 􀀈e two timelines are stitched together like alternating blocks of a quilt passed down through the decades, keeping family connected and rooted. I love a good Appalachian tale and Barnett’s hits all the right notes from the familiar dialect to the natural beauty of the mountains. I felt utterly at home”  \n—Sarah Loudin 􀀈omas, award-winning author of 􀀉e Right Kind of Fool  \n“Once again, Karen Barnett paints America’s historical landscape with de􀀚 skill and steady hand. Her deep-seated love for the Smoky Mountains etches each page like a poem. Pitch-perfect research and incomparable heart paint every corner of the brilliantly colored canvas of When Stone Wings Fly. Readers, get ready: your newest split-time 􀀖ction experience rests in the hands ofa master”  \n—Rachel McMillan, author of 􀀉e Mozart Code  \n“I loved getting to know Karen Barnett’s characters in When Stone Wings Fly. I was right there with them, 􀀙ipping through the pages as fast as I could to see what happened next. Compelling writing, gripping action, and fascinating Great Smoky Mountains National Park history make for a heartfelt story you won’t want to miss”  \n—Ann H. Gabhart, best-selling author of Along a Storied Trail  \n“As a former park ranger, Karen Barnett knows the landscape of mountains, rivers, forests, and trails—and the inner workings of the National Park Service, both historical and present-day. Both leap to life in the pages of this  \ntime-slip novel set in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park where, faced with irrevocable change, one woman struggles to preserve what’s le􀀚 of her family and her mountain home, while another seeks to piece together a mysterious family history shattered long ago. Forging our dreams while holding them in open hands is a dichotomy poignantly explored by the engaging characters in this heart-tugging and surprisingly suspenseful tale”  \n—Lori Benton, Christy Award–winning author of Burning Sky and other historical novels  \n“When Stone Wings Fly brings to light a little known time period in history when the glory of National Parks usurped on the ownership of private lands. But more than that, this is a heartrending story of belonging, a place to call home, and what family truly is in spite of grievous errors and the turbulence of life. I was entranced in this tale of the Smoky Mountains, devouring it to the last page, and pondering its message long a􀀚er the book was closed. As a dual-time author and reader, I can truly say that Karen Barnett has provided a story equally captivating in both time periods, and the ties of ancestry continue to show how intricately woven the past is to our present. 􀀈is will be a cherished story on my bookshelves for years to come”  \n—Jaime Jo Wright, author of 􀀉e Souls of Lost Lake and Christy Award– winning novel 􀀉e House on Foster Hill  \n[OceanofPDF.com](OceanofPDF.com)  \n[OceanofPDF.com](OceanofPDF.com)  \n[OceanofPDF.com](OceanofPDF.com)  \nWhen Stone Wings Fly: A Smoky Mountains Novel © 2022 by Karen Barnett  \nPublished by Kregel Publications, a division of Kregel Inc., 2450 Oak Industrial Dr. NE, Grand Rapids, [MI 49505. www.kregel.com](MI 49505. www.kregel.com).  \nAll rights reserved.
