My Appalachian Summer

He was headed for trouble.

Growing up in Detroit, Hubert Goins knew how to survive, fast talking, quick fists, and always one step ahead of the consequences chasing him. But when one bad decision pushes him too far, his mother makes a choice that will change everything.

To the hills of Appalachia.

To grandparents he barely knows.

To a life he doesn’t understand.

In a place where mornings start before sunrise and days are filled with hard work, quiet conversations, and the steady rhythm of faith, Hubert begins to encounter something unfamiliar, peace.
