Wow 😮 can’t wait till the next reading
🙂
An interesting and exciting story so far. Can't wait for the next chapter.
Glad you enjoy it!
I am really enjoying this story. I am looking forward to the next chapter.
Be quiet everyone the teacher is coming, she's going to read us a story about Louisa, and her trip to Kane Break.
I had a mule named Easter, she was the sweetest mule ever,no worries while on her back.Thanks Tipper, I'm ready for Chapter 3,You Have A Good Weekend 🙂.
🙂
Your pleasant comforting voice really helps me to imagine in my mind this place described in this book. Thank you again
This is MY kind of book, can't wait to hear the next chapter!
I love this story so far!!! I look forward to the next chapter.
Glad you enjoy it!
Thank you so much for reading this book to us. It is so enjoyable set back and relax while you read to us. I remember a substitute teacher in the 5th grade read the book ( Drums Along the Mohawk ) by Walter D. Edmunds. I love it when a writer can describe a place so clear that you can actually see the place as if you were there. Thank you Miss Tipper.
A great twist in that story. Yes, sounds like a very remote place. It's a good book. And again, I really like the way you read it.
Spooky!!
Loved that cliffhanger! Appalachia has fascinated me because of its remoteness and the people who live there, even though I've never been there. I've lived in city and country, but find the country brings me contentment. Thanks for reading, Tipper! Love this story so far!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I am hooked by your reading this great book. Please continue
So glad you enjoy it! I will keep reading 🙂
the way she sees people and her descriptions display a genuine interest in each persons story. stories like that you can read in the lines of a mans face . (terra cotta man looks like a real person behind you, soulful eyes watching RUclips 👍😂❤️ thoroughly enjoyed this thank you Tipper! 👍💯
So glad you enjoyed it!!
Can't wait for the next chapter and find out her reaction to meeting Chris Bledsoe.😁
This is a fascinating story. As Louisa journeys deeper into mysterious and remote surroundings, she's doing a remarkably good job of not letting fear of the unknown get the best of her. If I had to classify Mountain Path at this point, I'd call it a mystery story. Thanks again, Tipper, for bringing it to us. I love the story and appreciate the reader.
I enjoyed that. Some of my childhood was spent among people and places resembling those described in your book. My wandering alcoholic father roamed from the white sand beaches of Florida, to the filthy, snow covered streets of Chicago and all parts in between. One of those "temporary homes" was atop a mountain in Alabama, in a log cabin that not only had no electricity or water, but also had no bathroom- not even an outhouse. We had to carry water from a creek that came from the mouth of a cave. The only other people on the whole mountain was one family (the Clark's), that lived about 3 or 4 miles away. The people in and around those mountains sound strangely similar to the characters in your book. :)
I'm glad you enjoyed it!
RonRay…You could write a book, I bet. I was helping my sister with a problem she had and I called and talked to a man who turned out to be a pastor who conducted AA meetings. After I told him about my sister’s problem, he asked a couple of questions, then said, “One of your parents had a drinking problem, didn’t they?”
He went on to tell me how many adult children of a parent that drank are enablers. That shed a whole lot of light on some characteristics I had! Dad didn’t move us around though. Has life turned out well for you?
@@marilynpeppers1356 Marilyn, you are right on the mark! I had four brothers and two sisters and all but one (a sister), were alcoholics. I too believe that children of alcoholics have a tendency to repeat the 'sins of the fathers'. I was spared, only because I "originated" in prison, where my father could not drink. My father was in prison for about 3 1/2 years and was transferred as a trustee to a "road camp", where my mother visited him and was granted "conjugal interaction"... It was from one such visit that I "became".
It is for that reason that when I planned my son's "beginning", I and my wife abstained from alcohol for many months. Turns out, he was never bothered by alcohol! ....... but is now a drug addict!
@@RonRay …How very, very interesting.
I went through a “spell” in the 1990’s where I started depending on alcohol too much. It was after I got to keeping some at work (a small family owned business) that I knew I was in trouble.
Turns out I was diagnosed with depression which led me to wonder if men who drink to excess are self-medicating undiagnosed depression, which in turn makes the depression worse.
There’s a book entitled “The Glass Castle “ that echoes your life. The woman who wrote it tells the story of her father who dragged them around all over the place.
@@marilynpeppers1356 I will read that book. Thanks.
I love the terracotta(?) man on your wall… his hair and beard blowing in the wind.
Thank you! I have a great story about him-I'll share it in a video!
@@CelebratingAppalachia - 😃 Yes, when you feel up to it, please do! I’m sure he’s a very interesting character.
That was another wonderful chapter of Mountain Path. I can’t wait until next week to hear more. Have a happy weekend. 🌞
Thank You for the story and thank your amazing daughters for recommending your channels.
That is so nice Edward 🙂 I'm glad you enjoy our videos!
I think if you watch and read enough of Tipper's work you'll find the source of her daughters' amazingness.
Thank you, Tipper! Haywood County was my first home and your reading, while I imagine the scenes, takes me back. Your preservation, for all of us, of the mountain ways of my parents and grandparents touches my heart and brings such happy memories. Thank you, again, for cherishing and celebrating Appalachia!
Glad you enjoyed it! Haywood County is special to me because that's were I met Matt 🙂
Thanks so much this is wonderful ❣️
Love these stories.seem so real.thank you,Tipper.God bless you.♥️♥️♥️🙏🙏🙏
Glad you enjoyed it 🙂
I'm so excited about this. Thank you so much for reading the story to us. Can't wait for chapter 3 God bless you and your family ☺️
I'm so glad!
Wonderful read, thank you Tipper. I find drawn to her resolve to stay strong, to not let fear overtake her. I also noticed the ongoing remoteness. Interesting.
I love her strength too 🙂
You reading reminds me of when I was just a little feller. And my daddy. Would.tell me. Story before I went to sleep he would set down in a chair. Beside my bed a read a short story. Some times it was uncle remus. Story. Or a Some other short stories. And I would fall asleep. Dreaming of rabbits and deer. Taliking to one another. I hadn't thought of that in along time. Thankyou. Hope y'all are doing well. God bless. ,,,,,,
.
What a wonderful memory Duane 🙂
Looking forward to more! Can't help thinking about how much more civil people were in that day....Yet she sure was brave!
Man I am enjoying this book and the writer is so descriptive you can see the places she goes.I remember a teacher in school reading Where The Red Fern Grows over 50 years ago. That was the last time I was read to. I can't wait to hear more of Mountain Path. I'm hooked. Thanks Tipper.
I swear... if you were my grammar school teacher, I'd bring you an apple every single day! 👍😁🍎
I love that you are reading that book. You voice and dialect are very appealing as well. Thank you, Adie in CT
Cincinnati is where, I am originally from but, I never lived in the big city. I always have lived in small towns. I can only imagine back in that time even though it may have taken a longer time to get to her desensitization, I can only imagine how beautiful all that scenery was along the way, when, people weren’t in such a rush to get to places and, traveling must have been much more enjoyable as well. I’m now going to be anxiously waiting for the next chapter.
I absolutely love hearing you read this. I can’t wait until chapter 3. I also want to buy this book to add to my library.
What I really picked up on was her quiet determination. Her personality doesn't seem to be one that puffs up and makes her personality look so much larger than her petite stature that I'm imagining in my head. I also like that she's relying on the customs and the kindness of the culture. For example when the buses dropped her off and she standing in the middle of the road just sure that they would have sent someone to meet her. Just some thoughts. Enjoying the reading
A cliff hanger!! I'm loving this. Thanks so much for reading it!
I love this story. The remoteness reminds me of where my husband and I moved after we first got married. I was accustom to the city and he was from a rural area. So we moved to the rural area and it took a while for me to adjust to it. Now, after almost 40 years of marriage, I’m uncomfortable having to go into the city!!😊. Thanks for sharing this story. Can’t wait for the 3rd chapter!!💕
Thank You Ma'am.
Yay! Been waiting!
You were first this time, Diane! :)
Thanks Diane!!
I'm on the edge of my seat, Tipper. Looking forward to the next reading.
I love this. Please Make A play list of the chapters.
So glad you enjoy it! I did make a playlist 🙂
It leaves you wantin to hear more,,, good story.
I'm really enjoying this story
I can't wait to find out more about Chris Bledsoe! I know there's quite an interesting story there. I am completely drawn to this story and am transported into it by the way the author describes the surroundings and scenery.
Love what y'all are up to. Especially those kraut videos. Over here in Madison County NC we grow, make, and sell a bit of it. Keep it up.
🙂 Thank you!!
Listening wile cleaning our house
🙂
What a great story. Guess I've lived a sheltered life hoeing my own row. The first time down any path can plum hair raising. Think about your maiden Voyages & folks the Lord put there to help you. Keep on strumming those strings!
Thanks Mark 🙂
😯 "what happened to her?"🍿 👏👏👏
It's the sound of your voice, not the contents of the book, I find comforting. You could read from the telephone book and have the same effect. Why? You talk like I do. You are a generation removed from me and it reflects slightly in how you speak. A few of your words are a step closer to modern English but for the most part it's the same way I speak. And it's not only the pronunciation, it's the tonality and rhythm of your voice. It's as if I am talking to someone I have known all my life.
Thank you Papaw. I feel like I've known you my whole life 🙂
That 20 minutes went by so fast! ❤
I love this, thanks for sharing!
waiting for the next chapter thanks
I am enjoying this story so much! Thank you- I found this series tonight and am binge watching or binge listening- I have not turned on the news, watched TV or streamed a movie! I hope you will do more of these when this book is done 🌻
Glad you enjoy it!
You went and done it. You got me listening. Now to wait, wait, wait, for the next installment. Ha. Thanks for doing this!
🙂
Really enjoyed this👍

New Year’s Day 2022…. Starting mountain Path.. thank you for reading this. Love it
the most remote place in Wv that i lived in was bergoo
I would love to see it 🙂
This is a excellent story. I marked my calendar so I don't miss this next chapter. I wrote on my calander, "Tipper Reads Tonight". 😁❤
🙂
I the man who told her about Chris Bledsoe knew that’s who would be meeting her🤷🏼♀️ very interesting book! Can’t wait to hear chapter 3! Thanks for reading!!
I'm coming to this late, but I'm all in! My husband and I have lived in New York City for 21 years, but we come from Kentucky and visit as often as we can. We lived in Lexington when my husband went to Law School at UK, so it's extra special to imagine Louisa's journey since I know the area so well.
Tipper, your comments on chapter 2 are on point...after seeing Chris through her eyes, I don't think he's really going to turn out to be a bad person....☺....maybe!
Enjoyed this ! I figured it was cris Bledsoe....I am like you ,I don't feel safe in the city , too much crime, feel safe in the country the remoteness, in the mountains....up where I grew up ,near deep gap nc, we had a general store, post office , community center , all in one place..... miss those days.....thanks for sharing this tipper....God bless....🙏
You've definitely snagged my interest! Excited for the next chapter!
This just like the old radio programs. You couldn't wait for the next chapter.
My mother’s mother and grandparents were from Hanging Dog!!
Such beautiful writing, and reading. Looking forward to the next chapter.
Will read chapter 3 tonight. So interesting loved everything about this chapter!
This is quite entertaining! You do this really well. Your voice, inflection, fits so well. Thank you, sharing this time with us. I'm looking forward to the next chapter. Impatient, wondering what's next. You are right, a real cliff hanger!! I particularly enjoy your commentary! I have another
point of view and it's nice to understand a different, positive way of looking at the circumstances . Like you said, city vs country, fear vs comfort! Can't wait to continue the journey!
Wow! Definitely a cliff hanger! I won't tell you what popped in my mind when the young man said his name. Yikers! Absolutely love this book and I love you taking the time to read to us. Thanks so much! Anxiously awaiting what is next!
This is so enjoyable! I've never read this book, but I suspect that there r lessons about 'assumptions' & 'hear-say' wrapped up in this writing.
Thank you ..just wondering what went through her mind when he said I'm Chris Bledsoe .. my grandfather kept mules they r most gentle giants..thanks again will be watching for part 3
Loved it.
Just found your channel a few months ago and decided I should listen to your book reading. I am so throughly enjoying, even tho I’m only on the 2nd chapter, but will listen to them all. Your voice is so soothing. Thanks for sharing!
You are right, that is definitely a cliffhanger. Wow, I am really enjoying this. Can't wait till chapter 3.
Loved the video. Corie you hydrate and strengthen train at the same time, that’s some water bottle 😉. Glad Olive is home. We’ve had a few breeds, a beagle that could not be off leash, nose to the ground and she was gone and lost and found a couple of times. We have herding dogs now aka Velcro dogs. They don’t let you out of their sight. I love Katie’s earrings, they are so easy and very lightweight to wear.
I'm enjoy your reading this book so very much ,Thank you .God Bless. Jean
Ohhh, cliff hanger for sure….I loved it 😊 will be waiting for Chapter 3!
Brenda
Thank you so much for the story. A good writer. I was there. Looking forward to the next installment.
I enjoyed you reading this story. My mind wonders to many things.It is like pages of my life being torn from a book and left to fly in the wind. My husband and I got married young. I was 15 and he was 17. My first job as a new nurse was home health nursing. I was sent to a place called onion town and there were boundless rumors about inbred people who hated any newcomers. I was so scared looking for the house I was suppose to see an old woman at. It reminded me of that movie Deliverance which made quite an impression on me as I was totally ignorant of certain things.Anyway I found the place and it turned out nothing like I expected. I learned humility and empathy quickly. The people of onion town are very poor, big alcohol and drug problem. Nothing has changed there sadly.
I wonder who this Chris Bledsoe character will turn out to be. A mentor? Antagonist? Love interest? Ok, probably not that last one😂
I’m going to have to buy this book. I’m from Appalachia but I live in Mississippi now and after several years of figuring out what to do with my life, I think I have decided that I want to be a history teacher. This book is already so close to my heart after only listening to chapter one.
I am so enjoying listening to you read this story. It is very reminiscent of Catherine Marshall's Christy which takes place in Cade's Cove.
I was hooked the minute you started reading the first chapter!
Why am I feeling that she might not get back to her college studies in 7 months?
Chris doesn’t sound like a name I’d expect to hear in such a remote setting, so I’m really interested in hearing his story! And why is he so gaunt? The description of his cheekbones reminds me of Abraham Lincoln’s face by the end of his first term of office.
YESSSS!♥️
Oh my! Can't wait for the next chapter! This is so interesting & love hearing you read! 💗
I lost the book, that my High School library class, well, the school Libriains gave me when they were going over the old from the new the book was the red -red roadster I kept that book so long read that over and over, I had already had a respect for Libraries, but after that and the other libraries that put up for me, I even enlightened a few who didn't know places and postal codes were and soon, and I always said thank you for putting up with me most depts liked me but one oh well can't win them all.
Ok, now I am hooked. I dont know how your throat holds out to read that long but you are a wonderful expressive reader. Please keep reading. We have to find out how this girl does. I bet she falls in love with the mountains.
Wonderful tale. Thank you for sharing! I’m going to have to get the book
She is quite a talented writer, so very descriptive! I am impressed with her willingness to go alone into the unknown. That takes courage that we rarely see now. I love hearing you read this, it somehow fits.
The cicadas and chicken sounds from your yard added a sense of reality to the story ! And that cliff hanger, she really put her foot in her mouth, it probably dropped open a foot anyway as he said his name.
I love this. Thanks so much for these read aloud videos. Cant wait for the next one!
Having you read is wonderful. Thank you.
I am so glad you decided to keep up the reading.Such a good suspenseful book.
I'm so excited to find that you've posted two more chapters!
Thank you for reading to us! I can't wait for the next chapter of this book!
Your summation is really good. I didn't think I needed that. But you added a lot of things that I need to think on some more.
That was so good. Thank you for reading it to us. I really enjoyed it.
I really enjoyed that reading can't wait for more, reminds me of my mother in law who was a school teacher all her life she was 99 when she passed she would tell of some of the places she taught whole like cane break one school she rode a horse i guess in the 30s to teach at one little school back then not many roads she could tell some tales of all the places she taught/
Thank you for the story and encouragement. You do such a great job!
Wow...I want to hear more! Thank you from Eden, NC
I am really loving this story that was epic the person she is letting get to her is the very person helping her
So enjoying this book! Thanks for sharing it with us.
