This is the road leading to my family’s home in Tennessee. It inspired the “road” that leads out of Sully Hollow and down into civilization. This road was used as a transport route for Union and Confederate troops during the Civil War and is a focal point in the book. It carries away Silas and Amadahy’s oldest children, Micajah and Aurelia, into the hardships of war. It brings danger and aid to the isolated Sully Hollow. It also brings the realization that not everyone will make it out of the war alive. Silas, along with his whole family, must decide how to protect themselves and most importantly, how to guide a torn family back together. #writersofinstagram #thethunderingones #themooneyedones #appalachianhistory
