UNTO THESE HILLS is an unforgettable novel of love, scandal, family, and roots by one of the most emotionally authentic authors of our time. Taking us into the Deep South’s Tucapau mill hill, it introduces us to the unforgettable Sunny Acklin. Betrayed, abandoned, and violated, Sunny faces one seemingly insurmountable challenge after another. But she never loses her spirit or the memory of the love that once so richly illuminated her world. As years go by, Sunny does everything she can to make something of her life until at last an opportunity arises, one charged with promise…and undeniable risk.
From its vivid evocation of mill hill life to its pitch perfect rendering of the complexities of family and relationships, UNTO THESE HILLS is at once epic and intensely intimate. It is the richest novel yet from a writer who fluently speaks the language of our deepest feelings.
Unto These Hills eBook Emily Sue Harvey
Few writers can capture the cadence of place, characters and times. Emily Sue Harvey has accomplished this in this book. She has depicted an era and community lifestyle of American history lost to time and "progress." The book is life--good, bad and indifferent; she has taken an epic period and portrayed it through the lives of an extended family/friends. Anyone of the ages of the period and reared in a mill village can attest to a sense of community that lacks the ability to be replayed--the hippies in their communes may have attempted, but it was a far cry from the society fostered by the "company." While there is no overt, in-your-face effort to promote religion, Sunny reflected the life of Christians--the struggles as well as the victories; but above all, the message of forgiveness and second chances. This is a must read for persons growing up in the first half of the twentieth century--those in the village and/or on the fringes.Product details

Unto These Hills eBook Emily Sue Harvey Reviews
This was another of those free books that was a real surprise. Very well written and interesting. Ms. Harvey main character, Sunny, is engaging and interesting, and the reader can really see the world through Sunny's eyes. The story has it all - abuse, poverty, rape, death, and substance abuse - but also unconditional love, liberation and kindness. It's a story about life, and it's trials and tribulations, seen through Sunny's eyes, and is a very good read.
I really thought when I began reading this book that I was going to get a dose of everyone's life is perfect as I have seen with Christian novels as of late. This book was not that way at all. There is a Christian kind of theme along the edges of this book, but it is not the normal. This book deals with real issues and at times, is very hard to read because of the subject matter. That being said, other parts of this book are very easy to read and fully enjoy because they are so well written.
I liked the main character in this book and thought the author did a good job of using this character's voice to tell the story. I found the dialogue to be well written and appropriate as the age of the character matured throughout the book. This is not alight, silly read for a day when you are already feeling down. If that is what you are looking for, then find another book. However, if you are looking for a truly compelling read with some emotional depth and a book that will make you think, I recommend this one. A good read with a lot of layers.
Coming from a mill family, and then a small town this was a book that hit very close to home. It is true everyone knows everyone and their business. However, they stick together and help each other in times of need. I loved the book, cried some and laughed, so read the book and be transported back sways.
Interesting story of a southern textile mill village and its residents. Abandonment, rape, infidelity and lost love are just a few of the challenges that shape the lives of the Tucapau Mill Villagers. The story is told through the eyes of Sonny as she grows up on the "mill hill." Her experiences throughout life will draw you into to the story through its colorful characters.
I really enjoyed this book. The way the author started from the basic beginning of the main character's life and lead thru to the end was awesome. Story was written and shared well. Noticed in another review that this did not seem like Christian Fiction to the another reader. I very much disagree. The auther spoke of her faith and her struggles with faith and how she actually opened her heart completely to know Jesus and experienced what He had for her. The reference to an "orgasim" was tastefull and does not in any fashion come across distasteful. God is actually the inventor of intimacy and I feel this was shared as He would want it shared in a story. Well dome Emily Sue Harvey !!!!!!!!!!! Purchased her other novels already.
I absolutely loved this book. It captured the essence of southern girls in the 1950s perfectly. Having grown up in the 1950s, I really connected with the characters and didn't want them to leave my mind; I wanted to hang on to them forever and not forget them. I practically bawled through the last third of the book. As I was reading, I was saying out loud, "Please don't let anything else happen to these wonderful people. They deserve some happiness". And the ending was just perfect. Emily Sue Harvey is now one of my favorite authors. You can be sure I will be reading more of her work! If you like sweet, tender-hearted "tear jerkers" read this one. You'll love it.
Liked the interesting characters. Story line interesting although depressing at times. Doubt the male romantic lead would have been so virile at his age at the end of the book but I would be happy to be proved wrong! Would have preferred it not to carry on over so many years - got depressing in the middle years. Definitely some editing needed. Difficult to work out what is happening at a specific year in some places. Overall, the characters kept me reading this book along with wondering when in the world the two main romantic characters would finally get together! (Much too late in life I thought.) I guessed who the "bad guy" was so that wasn't my reason to keep reading, although if you don't guess then you would keep reading for that also. With good editing this book would have been much better.
