I had been so impressed with all the other books I had read by Lisa Wingate. I think I rated all of them 5 stars. This one didn't grab me as much. It was a story within a story, and those for me, just don't read as smoothly. It did end up being very good. A book editor mysteriously comes across an old manuscript laying around the publishing house, and decides to investigate the reason behind the story. There's a lot of mystery behind it. and some interesting twists.

The Story Keeper by Lisa Wingate
Jennia Beth Gibbs left her home in the North Carolina mountains to the streets of New York City without looking back. Now shes just Jen Gibbs, editor. A week on her newest job a mysterious old manuscript shows up on her desk, she reads it and wants more. She wants this story. She finds herself heading back to the one place she never wanted to go. Home.

Shes convinced the author of this twenty year old manuscript is the very man who wrote a popular book series and then hid himself from the world. And hes not an easy nut to crack. But her new job depends on his cooperation.

The story includes a secondary story, Rand and Sarras. I love the way this author writes. Its more than a story, its a tale of the way people live in the mountains. Their knowledge of nature, roots, herbs, etc. Kin helping kin. And in Sarras story...prejudice. The two stories intertwined create a real page turner, just as in her book Wildwood Creek.

Editor Jen Gibbs has a new job at a New York publishing house when a mysterious manuscript shows up on her desk. She goes to North Carolina to find the author and the rest of the story.

I thought this was an interesting book. The main storyline of Jen looking for the author is woven in with the twentieth century story she is reading. The book was well written and had a satisfying conclusion.
