Sons of Blackbird Mountain by Joanne BischofMy rating: 💛💛💛💛
This was such a beautiful story. This is only my second book by this author, but I really enjoyed it and have now added another author to my 'read-all-books' list.
The relationship of the three brothers were strong, but also challenging. Thor was such a dynamic character, and I totally understand the 'team-Thor" going around in the reading world. His struggle to be better, overcome his challenges and also know that he deserves more, was a captivating journey to read.
I loved how Aven interacted with the three brothers and how she learned to not only see Thor, but truly listen/hear him as well.
I definitely want to read the second book, because I do want a great redemption and hopefully reconciliation story for Haakon.
I listened to the audiobook, and the narrator did a great job with bringing an entertaining and captivating story.

About the book:
When Aven Norgaard leaves Norway to serve as housekeeper to her late husband’s cousins in Appalachia, she expects lads in need of care, not three grown men—each in need of a wife and bound by a powerful brotherhood. As the men carve out a living by brewing artisan liquor, young Haakon’s pursuit tempts Aven’s lonely spirit . . . but it is his deaf brother, Thor, whose silent strength shows her the depths of real love.
Unable to speak to any woman, Thor Norgaard never anticipates Aven will befriend him, let alone treat him as her safe harbor. Though hard cider is their livelihood and his greatest talent, he fights his way to sobriety with Haakon’s help, defying the bottle for Aven’s hand—only to face a battle of the heart that tests even the strongest bonds of brotherhood.
