This is a tragically beautiful love story of a simple yet deep love between two soul mates, Robby and Julie. The American South’s rigid caste system and her mother demand that Julie chooses to marry an ambitious young man from a prominent and suitable family. Julie counters her mother’s stringent social rules with deception and secrets in order to keep Robby in her life. Can the couple break the shackles of polite society and spend their lives together? Will Julie’s mother ever accept Robby?

My Review
My Review
Wait for Me
By Jo Huddleston
I loved this story by Jo Huddleston. This is book 1 in the The West Virginia Mountains series. Julia falls in love with a coal miners son. He also falls in love with her. One big problem they are from 2 different society's. Julia being from a high society it is not permitted. They have such a deep love for one another how can they make this work? How can they get her parents to see he is a wonderful guy? Looking forward to book 2. If you haven't read anything by Jo Huddleston pick this up. This story spoke right to my heart.
