Virginia Author Carolyn Tyree Feagans

They are called books of hope—stories of faith that are cleverly interwoven with historical information.  Set primarily in the ‘30s, ‘40s, ‘50s and ‘60s, though some begin around 1900, they humanize history, while focusing on the Great Depression era, World War II, the “happy days” of the fifties, and the turbulent sixties.

Learn about the mysterious Indians of Central Virginia.  “The author has folded the Monacan’s twentieth century story into dialogue, so now our children can appreciate the human side,” says Dr. Peter Houck, Virginia Historian.

Visit the Peaks of Otter and step back in time to the Mons Community of Bedford, Virginia that no longer exists and discover what used to be there!  See how WW II changed this small town forever, but also enjoy the awesome beauty of the majestic Blue Ridge Mountains in Virginia and North Carolina, while unfolding drama makes you laugh, cry, and ponder life.

Learn how the Shenandoah National Park was created by the forced removal of over 500 mountain families—a unique case of eminent domain, fought with both fervent opposition and deep-rooted sadness—all through the eyes of one young boy.

Each book not only reveals a part of our meaningful past, but like a magnet, pulls you into its story until you feel like it all belongs to you!  Books you cannot put down!
