Sons Of Blackbird Mountain

Description

Thor Norgaard hasnt spoken to anyone in his twenty-eight years, but when the young widow he loves crosses an ocean to live on his Appalachian farm, this reclusive alcoholic will brave much more than words to heal her heart. When Aven Norgaard leaves Norway to serve as housekeeper to her late husbands cousins in Appalachia, she expects lads in need of care, not three grown men—each in need of a wife and bound by a powerful brotherhood. As the men carve out a living by brewing artisan liquor, young Haakons pursuit tempts Avens lonely spirit . . . but it is his deaf brother, Thor, whose silent strength shows her the depths of real love. Unable to speak to any woman, Thor Norgaard never anticipates Aven will befriend him, let alone treat him as her safe harbor. Though hard cider is their livelihood and his greatest talent, he fights his way to sobriety with Haakons help, defying the bottle for Avens hand—only to face a battle of the heart that tests even the strongest bonds of brotherhood.
