Fiction
Growing up in Virginia's Allegheny Mountains,
eleven-year-old Charlie York lives at the foot of an endless
peak called Angel's Rest, a place his momma told him angels
rested before coming down to help folks. In 1967 his town
was a poor boy's paradise…until a shotgun blast killed
Charlie's father and put his mother on trial for murder. For mysterious reasons, his mother entrusts his care to an
old black man named Lacy Albert Coe. Lacy tells simple
stories about the good and the bad that compose life's
sweetest music. But when Hollis Thrasher, a reclusive Korean
War veteran, is linked to his father's death and Lacy is
victimized by hate crimes, Charlie hears only silence. It's
not until Charlie embarks on a dangerous midnight journey
pitting him against his darkest fears that he finally hears
his own song playing out.
