GREAT REVIEWS FOR BJ HOFF’S MOUNTAIN
SONG LEGACY TRILOGY…
BOOK ONE…A DISTANT MUSIC
“BJ Hoff always delights readers with her warm stories and characters who become part of your ‘circle of special friends’.”
JANETTE OKE,
BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF LOVE COMES SOFTLY
“For this Kentucky woman, reading A Distant Music was like driving through the eastern hills and hollers on a perfect autumn day, with the scent of wood smoke in the air and the trees ablaze with color. BJ Hoff ’s lyrical prose brings to life this gentle, moving story of a beloved teacher and his students, who learn far more than the three Rs. I brushed away tears at several tender points in the story and held my breath when it seemed all might be lost. Yet, even in the darkest moments, hope shines on every page. A lovely novel by one of historical fiction’s finest wordsmiths.”
LIZ CURTIS HIGGS, BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF THORN IN MY HEART
“As always when I open BJ’s books I’m drawn into a place that is both distant and at home…as I tell my husband, I wish I could create the kinds of characters B.J. does because I fall in love with them and want them always as my friends.”
JANE KIRKPATRICK, AUTHOR OF LOOK FOR A CLEARING IN THE WILD
“In some ways, A Distant Music is reminiscent of the ‘Little House’ series. Each chapter recalls the details of an event or some character's dilemma. Eventually, though, Hoff connects all the threads into a solid story whose ending will deeply touch readers. A Distant Music should find an eager audience.”

BOOK TWO…THE WIND HARP
BJ always does a great job of drawing her readers into the lives of her characters. I’m sure that there will be many who will be eagerly pleading to know ‘what happens next.’ I will be among them.”
Janette Oke, LOVE COMES SOFTLY
“BJ Hoff continues the story of Maggie and Jonathan, who must endure their share of trials before reaping their reward. Though this novel is historical, BJ Hoff deals with issues that are completely contemporary…Kudos to the author for charming us again!”
ANGELA HUNT, BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF THE NOVELIST
BOOK THREE… THE SONG WEAVER
“Like a warm visit with a good friend over a hot cup of tea, The Song Weaver offers comfort and satisfaction…and you don’t want the visit to come to an end.”
CINDY SWANSON
BJ Hoff is a master at characterization, and her stories are rich with insight. I love the historical setting and learned something new about the role of women in that society.
JILL E. SMITH
The Song Weaver is the last book in the Mountain Song Legacy Story, and I hate to see it end. I’ll miss Maggie and Jonathan and all the others…A very satisfying end to a special series. She never disappoints.
