Title: Daughters of Green Mountain Gap
Author: Teri M Brown
Voice Actor/Narrator: Traci Odom
Genre: Historical Fiction
Book Blurb:
Appalachian granny woman. A daughter on a crusade. A granddaughter caught between the two.
Maggie McCoury, a generational healer woman, relies on family traditions, folklore, and beliefs gleaned from a local Cherokee tribe. Her daughter, Carrie Ann, believes her university training holds the answers. As they clash over the use of roots, herbs, and a dash of mountain magic versus the medicine available in the town’s apothecary, Josie Mae doesn’t know whom to follow. But what happens when neither family traditions nor science can save the ones you love most?
Daughters of Green Mountain Gap weaves a compelling tale of Maggie, Carrie Ann, and Josie Mae, three generations of remarkable North Carolina women living at the turn of the twentieth century, shedding light on racism, fear of change, loss of traditions, and the intricate dynamics within a family. Author Teri M. Brown skillfully navigates the complexities of their lives, revealing that some questions are not as easy to answer as one might think.

Do you listen to audiobooks? Do you have a favorite? If you don’t listen to audiobooks, is there a particular reason why not?
I love to listen to audiobooks. In fact, I always have three books going – an audiobook for long car rides and long walks, an ebook for reading in bed at night, and a paperback for taking to the pool or beach. I don’t have a favorite audiobook, but I love listening to historical fiction!
What makes this a must-listen audiobook?
Daughters of Green Mountain Gap is not just about life in the North Carolina mountains; it’s about survival in a world that constantly pits tradition against progress. It’s a story of women who heal and women who question. It’s also a story about what happens when history isn’t passed down but fought over. Fans of character-driven narratives and historical fiction, especially those who appreciate stories of generational conflict and cultural preservation, will be deeply moved.

Born in Athens, Greece as an Air Force brat, Teri M. Brown now calls the North Carolina coast home. In 2020, she and her husband, Bruce, rode a tandem bicycle across the United States from Astoria, Oregon to Washington DC, successfully raising money for Toys for Tots. Teri’s debut novel, Sunflowers Beneath the Snow, is a historical fiction set in Ukraine, her second, An Enemy Like Me, is set in WWII, and her third, Daughters of Green Mountain Gap, is a generational story about Appalachian healers. Her short story, The Youngest Lighthouse Keeper, came out in the anthology Feisty Deeds: Historical Fictions of Daring Women. Her latest work, 10 Little Rules for a Double-Butted Adventure, launched February 2025 and is an inspirational look at the life lessons she learned riding across the United States on a tandem bicycle. Finally, Teri has a children’s picture book, Little Lola and Her Big Dream, coming out on April 15th, 2025. Learn more at www.terimbrown.com
Narrator Biography:
Traci Odom, an American-born actor and voice artist, has built a successful career that spans decades. As a stage, film, and television actor, she has played everything from a tree to an Irish setter to a lawyer, but it is as a veteran narrator of more than fifty-five audiobooks that she has truly found her voice, inviting her listeners into the worlds of romance, witchcraft, devilry, and vampirism. To relax in her spare time, she daydreams of becoming the first female American Ninja Warrior—but then she would have to get off her couch to make that dream a reality, so she lives out her daydreams in her professional life, both on camera and on microphone. Working in close collaboration with her authors, she brings their creations to life with dynamic energy and commitment.
