Windy Ridge

A vivid portrait of a young woman growing up in a rural Kentucky community in the early 1900s. Drawing from personal experience as the daughter of an evangelist farmer, Ethel Thomas Russell captures in keen detail the daily routines, social customs, and conversational styles of a bygone era, all woven into a captivating story with timeless themes of love, loss, faith, and family. Written over 75 years ago, the illustrated manuscript was recently rediscovered, and is being published now to share and preserve this important work of cultural and historical significance.
