Forged by Wind and Song

Kemma MarShall

In Forged by Wind and Song, the fourth installment of the critically acclaimed Hymns of Blue Hollow series, author Kemma MarShall delivers a deeply emotional story of love, suspense, and forbidden longing. Returning from a Texas German internment camp, Ian Huggler longs for the peace of the Blue Hollow hills and the wife he’s fought to return to. But the home he left behind has changed. Esther carries both his child and the lingering consequences of her bootlegging cousin’s hidden deeds as she’s forced back into the world she tried to escape. Freddie, Ian’s restless and reckless brother, hides a love that could destroy them all. And somewhere in the valley, Zeb Boone still waits—alive, vengeful, and set on claiming what Clive once had. As WW2 rages overseas, another war brews in the hollows, where moonshiners and rival clans blur the lines between loyalty and betrayal. Esther stands at the center of it all, torn between the two men who’ve risked everything for her and the one who refuses to die. Gritty and heartfelt, with witty 1940s eastern Tennessee banter, Forged by Wind and Song pulls readers back into the world of Hymns of Blue Hollow—a sweeping Southern saga where love collides with legacy and no secret stays buried for long at the Old Reed Estate.
