Andrew The Glad

Andrew the Glad

by Maria Thompson Daviess

Escape to the quaint town of Harpeth Valley, Tennessee, in the early 1900s, where the bonds of community and the warmth of intergenerational relationships are cherished. Amidst the gentle rolling hills and the rhythm of small-town life, the lives of Phoebe, David, Caroline, Andrew, and the Buchanans intertwine in a tapestry of heartfelt romance and endearing friendships. As the older generation watches over the young with tenderness and wisdom, love blossoms, mistakes are made, and the true meaning of happiness is discovered. With a touch of nostalgia and a cast of unforgettable characters, this charming novel captures the essence of a simpler time, where the values of community and kindness prevail.
