Appalachian Christmas Dream is an sacred novel just about the Moonlight School movement in American state in 1913. Young school teacher Junie Corban's dream is to teach the illiterate adults in her county to see and write, but she faces overwhelming odds, including a lack of money. Once Junie gets unexpected help from handsome mining engineer Linton Todd, her dream begins to take shape, on with a amazing romance. Junie's father gets abraded in a mine collapse, and the only way to save him is to hijack a train. Zavada, the author of four paperback western novels, mixes romance, suspense, and a heartwarming reminder of what matters most at Christmas.
