The Mountain Has Eyes

By Mary Wagner

And the story continues . . . World War II is over. Most of the people of Harmony and Boone welcome their sons, daughters, fathers, mothers, brothers and sisters home. I say most, because some never returned. Many of these valiant men and women were killed on the battlefields in Europe and Japan or came home as amputees like Thomas Tibbits. During the war, countless children lived with foster parents or they were in orphanages because their fathers were taken out of the family unit and sent overseas to fight. The mothers, that were able to work, positioned themselves as the breadwinner and worked hard to feed and support their children. Some mothers didn't have the skills or mentally couldn't support their children anymore and gave up; they never saw their children again. Hitler is dead. Willow Moone rejoices but curses him thinking about the men and women who didn't return. Prejudice and abuse is still a cloud that floats above Blackheart Mountain. Hate lingers on in the towns of Harmony and Boone. Yes, prosperity is there for the taking, but only for the greedy that prospered and accumulated even more wealth after the war like Mason Taylor and his family. The blackness of evil reigns over Blackheart Mountain and causes turmoil among many of the people who live in the mountains and hollers. Love for one another and the truth does triumph over evil. Good people do good things to get rid of the evil that lurks among people. Alec and Sady Karastaupolis, Sady's son Eddie Milsap and Sheriff Hardin work hard to turn the towns of Harmony and Boone into respectable and law-biding towns so every citizen gets treated fairly no matter their color, heritage, or gender - rich or poor.
