Lord of the Mountain

Ronald Kidd

In 1927, thirteen-year-old Nate Owens lives with a southern family struggling with loss and regional hard times. Nate’s preacher father forbids music and opposes his spending time with musicians in Bristol, Tennessee, including Jimmie Rodgers and the Carter Family. Nate loves music and leaves on his own, seeking both himself and a song he believes could heal his broken family. The story places his journey amid the rise of country music.
