Celebrating with Julie Cantrell

18 Sep

B & Julie

Last week, we traveled to Oxford, Mississippi, to meet Julie Cantrell and celebrate the release of her latest novel, When Mountains Move.  What a wonderful celebration it was!  Held at Off Square Books, it was an evening of food, fun, and friendships, both old and new. 

 
Julie & Melanie

Julie is such a precious person!  She humbly and sincerely thanked all those who offered their help, support, and encouragement through this novel process.  I am so thankful for the opportunity we had to meet and I look forward to the next time our paths cross!

 

When Mountains Move is the sequel to Julie Cantrell’s award-winning novel, Into The Free.  I have included the link for the book trailer below.  Enjoy Julie’s introduction to the book she calls “my love song to Colorado.”

A young woman, an old woman, the story of a lifetime.
 

When Iola Anne Poole, an old-timer on Hatteras Island, passes away in her bed at ninety-one, the struggling young mother in her rental cottage, Tandi Jo Reese, finds herself charged with the task of cleaning out Iola’s rambling Victorian house. 

Running from a messy, dangerous past, Tandi never expects to find more than a temporary hiding place within Iola’s walls, but everything changes with the discovery of eighty-one carefully decorated prayer boxes, one for each year, spanning from Iola’s youth to her last days. Hidden in the boxes is the story of a lifetime, written on random bits of paper–the hopes and wishes, fears and thoughts of an unassuming but complex woman passing through the seasons of an extraordinary, unsung life filled with journeys of faith, observations on love, and one final lesson that could change everything.
