Even though online reviews of this book were not good I was hooked on reading BURNT MOUNTAIN when I read the synopsis on the book jacket. I love reading southern stories especially if they are based around Atlanta or Savannah. This book has some neat twists and turns that keeps you reading clear to the very last page. The main character, Thayer, is devastated by the death of her father as her mother does not really care for her. She does have a close relationship with her Grandmother. She goes off to camp and as a tennager and falls in love with a teenage counselor at a neighboring camp. They are in love and have made plans to meet each other beyond camp. When Thayer returns home and finds out that she is pregant her mother takes her to the doctor and tricks her into an abortion. When he tries to contact Thayer, her mother tells the boy, Nick Abrams, that Thayer has moved away. She thinks he has forgotten her. They lose contact and move on with their lives. They both marry other people but they find each other during some planning events for the Atlanta Olympics. Thayer's first husband becomes pshchotic - events happen---- and Thayer and Nick end up happily ever after.
