TENNESSEE’S FORMER FILM COMMISSIONER PATRICIA ANN LEDFORD MEET-THE-AUTHOR AND BOOK-SIGNING EVENT I LOVE BOOKS—FORT HENRY MALL—KINGSPORT, TN FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 29, 2019 11AM—3 PM LOCAL NEWS — The historical fiction novel “Strings-The Story of Hope” launched this summer and is already creating exciting chatter in the Tri-Cities area. Authored by Kingsport native Patricia Ann Ledford, the book is a compelling coming-of-age story set in East Tennessee and Western North Carolina. “Strings-The Story of Hope” spans four generations from 1776-1804. “It’s a 15-year-old girl’s journey from absolute security and naivety into the worst series of events imaginable. After Dragging Canoe’s warriors attack, she flees her burning home on horseback. Things get worse before they get better,” says Ledford. “Strings of hurtful events quickly destroy Hope’s innocence, wrapping her heart in deeply buried memories. She resists relationships of any kind. That is, until her search for her father leads to an unexpected friendship. You’ll have to read the book to see if the hurtful strings unravel enough to allow love.” As Tennessee’s first film commissioner, Ledford and her team recruited over 35 films to the state, including “The River” starring Mel Gibson, filmed in the Tri-Cities area. “I had a crazy career of 100-hour work weeks until two years ago, when the Lord led me back to the mountains to write.” Set in East Tennessee and Western North Carolina, it's a great gift for friends and loved ones who are interested in horses, local history, and romance, with a story travelling from the Boones Creek area, up the Doe River to Roan Mountain, Sycamore Shoals, the Blue Ridge mountains, and the Watauga Settlement [Tri-Cities]. For the perfect gift - stop by "I Love Books" Bookstore in Fort Henry Mall on Black Friday to meet local author Patricia Ann Ledford and get her book personally signed to your loved ones.
