Jan-Carol Publishing, Inc., of Johnson City, Tennessee, announces the nationwide release of "Hope Knocking," by the Nova Mann.
Mann is a former high school teacher who began her career in North Carolina and retired in Tennessee. As a lifelong learner, she continues to explore the world through hiking, sustainable gardening, writingand playing old-time mountain music. One of her life’s biggest accomplishments was spent as a Fulbright scholar in South America, teaching English at a public high school. She later led many American students on trips throughout Latin America and Europe, believing that travel is the best way to uproot intolerance and replace it with respect for all cultures. She lives with her husband in the mountains of Tennessee, embraced by the Cherokee Forest.
"Hope Knocking"is Nova Mann’s first novel, but she is already working on a sequel, which willbe released sometime in 2023.
"Hope Knocking" tells the story of 2020 from three different perspectives: Amantha,an opinionated retired educator who considers herself to be half hillbilly and half flatlander; Matthew, her soft-spoken mountain husband; and Nancy Mae,Amantha's charismatic elderly mother who has returned to her East Tennesseeroots after leaving nearly 70 years ago. The three live in Mavie, a mere speckon a USGS topographical map, on the banks of the Diamond River.
"Hope Knocking" is available on Amazon, Barnes&Noble.com, and through Jan-Carol Publishing, Inc.
