Love is Godโs greatest gift, and sometimes what youโre looking for has been yours all along. When her Aunt Ivy invites Rachel Moretz to come to the familyโs Stanly County farm, she jumps at the chance. Though Rachel loves her parentsโ mountain farm, she feels isolated there. There are no other teenagers at home, and at sixteen sheโd like to finally have some friends her age. She barely remembers her half-cousin, Patrick, though he seems to have intriguing memories of her. He soon becomes Rachelโs best friend, helping her navigate many uncertainties while introducing her to Stanly County society. The trip down the mountain will bring unexpected friendships, suitors, and dangers. Rachel will have to rely on family for support as she faces unexpected trials and prejudices. Through her circumstances, Rachel must come to realize that the best plan for her life is Godโs plan, and that forgiveness comes in many forms. In Transplanted to Red Clay, the final book in the Appalachian Roots series, the Moretz familyโs story comes full circle in love.
