Description

In a small South Carolina town, the discovery of a young girl's body trapped in the Tamassee River ignites a firestorm of fear and suspicion. As the community grapples with the tragedy, old prejudices and simmering resentments begin to surface, threatening to tear the town apart. This powerful novel explores themes of loss, community, and the enduring impact of the past, all set against the backdrop of the unforgiving natural landscape. Ron Rash masterfully weaves a tale of human frailty and resilience, leaving readers to ponder the complex currents that run beneath the surface of ordinary lives.
