Review by Readers’ Favorite:

Jack Hemphill's historical Southern fiction novel, The Ridge Walker, is a lovely and lyrical tale that captivates and enthralls the reader as surely as those mystical mountain voices bewitched all who heard them. Hemphill's Mac and Jess are marvelous guides to a most compelling tale set in the North Carolina Appalachians. That part of the novel which deals with the couple and Robb being snowbound is exceptionally beautiful and quite unforgettable. I had a glorious time reading The Ridge Walker. It's easily one of the most profound and gorgeous Southern fiction novels I've come across. The Ridge Walker is most highly recommended.

 

Portland Book Review

It’s interesting to follow the sudden twists of this beautiful and touching story that slowly unfolds from different Points of view. Moving from Mac’s account to Jess’ and back the author skillfully leads the readers through a simple but engaging plot.

 

The story deals with very delicate issues, although the author’s approach to them is careful and gentle. So, take a comfortable seat and read it all the way through to find out what kind of love keeps these people together.
