Weeping Willow This first book of the "Shadows of Joshua" series begins the fictional saga of a young woman growing up in the mountains of Western North Carolina and the handsome young man she adored from their first meeting under a weeping willow tree on the banks of the French Broad River. Set amidst the bitter feud between their fathers in the shadows of Joshua Mountain, it poignantly entails the anguish Robert Zeller and Eliza Jane Walker endure as they strive to follow God's calling for their lives, while honoring a love they cannot deny. The given names of some characters are the author's ancestors of the 1800s. Those names are used as a loving tribute to all who toiled under the shadows of Joshua Mountain in the fertile fields and valleys of the French Broad and East Fork Rivers. Fictional surnames were randomly chosen and are not intended to represent any families who lived in the area. How it could have been; should have been; would have been.........If only........
