Its all Cora can think of; radios with news from around the world, machines that keep food cold, lightbulbs by which to read at night! Cora figures she can help spread the word by starting a school newspaper and convincing her neighbors to support the Rural Electrification Act.But resistance to change isnt easy to overcome, especially when it starts at home. Coras mother is a fierce opponent of electrification. She argues that protecting the landscape of the holler-the trees, the streams, the land that provides for their way of life-is their responsibility. But Cora just cant let go of wanting more.Lyrical, literary, and deeply heartfelt, this debut novel from an award-winning author-librarian speaks to family, friendship, and loss through the spirited perspective of a girl eager for an electrified existence, but most of all, the light of her mothers love and acceptance.Back matter includes an Authors Note; further information on the Rural Electrification Act, the herbs and plants of Appalachia, the Pack Horse Library Project, and more; and a Quick Questions historical trivia section for readers.A Junior Library Guild Gold Standard Selection\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52158684594464,"sku":"NEW0823459020","price":11.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/81tYQEGJrKL.jpg?v=1786083165","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/light-comes-to-shadow-mountain-0823459020","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
