Musically gifted mountain man Sterlen Galloway has lived all of his forty-eight years in the backwoods, visiting home after home carrying his banjo, his songs, and his stories. When Sterlen meets Martha Ammons, Tom Ammons’ eldest daughter, love brings this man of music and song into the darkness of an abused woman’s emotional pain. “Sterlen” is the third book in its series based on author Amy Ammons Garza’s family heritage. Continuing to share the authentic stories of the Ammons and Owen families and life in the Appalachian Mountains, Garza’s work traces her lineage amongst the mountain folk of North Carolina.
