“The Melody of the Mulberries” is a sequel to author Tonya Jewel Blessing’s YA novel “The Whispering of the Willows” and is set in the late 1920s’ Appalachia, where granny witches and spiritualism often show the path for wanderers to take, especially in matters of the heart.

Like the changing mulberries, Appalachian siblings Coral and Ernest Ashby, navigate their lives and loves through the Spanish Flu epidemic, poverty, and various as sundry prejudices. Coral is determined to visit the family nemesis, Charlie, who now stews in prison.

When Ernest’s previous love interest, Mercy, returns to the holler of Big Creek, she discovers that Ernest has a new romantic attraction. He is singing a melody for Charlotte, the older Ashby brother’s widow. No matter, Mercy has brought along her own spiritual tools to circumvent the inconvenience and a special friend who guides her way.

Accompanied by friends and foes, matters of the heart complicate life for Coral and Ernest. Relationships must be journeyed carefully.

An exceptionally well written and entertaining work of historical romance for young adult readers that is unreservedly recommended for both high school and community library collections, it should be noted for personal reading lists that “The Melody of the Mulberries” is also readily available in a paperback edition (9781951084004, $16.99).

The Melody of the Mulberries by Tonya Jewel Blessing

In Book Two, The Melody of the Mulberries, sixteen-year-old Coral Ashby is determined to visit Charlie in prison. Charlie has committed atrocities against the Ashby clan, yet Coral feels called by God to minister to him. She is accompanied by a local pastor and friend on her travels to Charleston.

The Melody of the Mulberries is a story of redemption: experiencing help in the midst of trial, believing God has a better plan for those who struggle with condemnation, knowing racial tensions break the heart of God and understanding how there can always hope in the midst of spiritual darkness.
