A story of the lives of three women, tightly woven together and surviving the harsh societal environment of an Appalachian mining town in the early to mid-1900s. Two religions contrast with each other—the Cherokee spirits of the native people and the Old Testament God of the white settlers—as each woman struggles to find her place. Love and hate, marriage and adultery, childbirth and abortion, all have their parts to play. Beloved Mother accurately portrays the evilness in humanity, in which the wicked corrupt the innocent to create a vicious cycle of abuse, until one person—with a heart of understanding and forgiveness—has the courage to end it.

Laura Hunter has poured her heart and soul into the pages of Beloved Mother. Her talent and her passion are present in every scene, every chapter, every image, every line. There's magic in this book! Michael Knight - eveningland
Beloved Mother is an adventure story about three generations of daring women. Hunter tells us that “women have within them so much love and so much hate they sometimes confuse the two,” one of the many mysteries about this fast-paced novel that will keep you wondering. Denton Loving- Crimes Against Birds
Beloved Mother is the kind of rich story that brands itself in memory. I can still see the mining camps, smell the scents of the woods and mountains, and recall the unique people, entwined with the land, their histories, and each other, that Hunter evokes so well. T. K. Thorne - Noah’s Wife: 5500 BC
Beloved Mother, Laura Hunter’s debut novel, is both inventive and lyrical. This mythic tale unfolding at the crossroads of what is real and might be real will surprise time and again. Darnell Arnoult -Sufficient Grace
