Fiction
When seven-year-old Bethany meets her six-year-old cousin
Reana Mae, it’s the beginning of a kinship of misfits that
saves both from a bone-deep loneliness. Every summer,
Bethany and her family leave Indianapolis for West
Virginia’s Coal River Valley. For Bethany’s mother, the
trips are a reminder of the coalmines and grinding poverty
of her childhood, of a place she’d hoped to escape. But her
loving relatives, and Bethany’s friendship with Reana Mae,
keep them coming back. But as Bethany grows older, she realizes that life in this
small, close-knit community is not as simple as she once
thought…that the riverside cabins that hold so much of her
family’s history also teem with scandalous whispers…and that
those closest to her harbor unimaginable secrets. Amid the
dense woods and quiet beauty of the valley, these secrets
are coming to light at last, with a force devastating enough
to shatter lives, faith, and the bond that Bethany once
thought would last forever. Spanning four decades, Sherri Wood Emmons’ debut is a
haunting, captivating novel about the unexpected, sometimes
shocking events that thrust us into adulthood—and the
connections that keep us tethered, always, to our pasts.
