He lives at the base of a mountain near appalachia I believe. This family comes down to shop in the town. He see a beautiful young woman with long blonde hair shopping with her family. He really likes her. He finds out who she is and goes up the mountain to meet her and ask her father if he can court her. They fall in love and get married and she dies in childbirth giving him a son. He stays with her family to raise the boy. The book has charming stories about mountain folk. A little man has a wife who is so fat she can’t get out the door. When she dies they have to take the wall out of the house to get her out. They bury her in a piano box. He also installs an indoor bathroom for her family when he gets to know them. Can anybody help me please?
