Join us at Lashay’s Sidetrack Allie for an intimate book signing with local author Lisa Bittner celebrating her newly published novel, Whispers of The Smoky Mountains.
About the book Whispers of the Smoky Mountains follows Ava Carter, a woman who’s spent years being the one everyone relies on—strong, capable, and always in control. Quietly exhausted and searching for something she can no longer name, Ava retreats to a secluded cabin in the Smoky Mountains. A booking mistake forces her to share the cabin with Luke Walker, and two guarded strangers are drawn into an unexpected connection. Surrounded by mountain trails, quiet evenings, and flickering-lit nights, Ava begins to discover that healing can come softly—through stillness, kindness, and the courage to open her heart again. Whispers of the Smoky Mountains is a tender story of burnout, healing, second chances, and finding home in the most unexpected place.
Lisa Bittner is the author of Whispers of the Smoky Mountains, a heartfelt contemporary story filled with emotional depth, healing, and the quiet beauty of human connection. Through warm storytelling and richly drawn characters, Lisa explores themes of love, loss, self-discovery, and the places that help us become whole again.
