Description
In a poverty-stricken West Virginia community, a family tries to hold onto ordinary life as the land around them grows increasingly unstable and untrustworthy. When environmental harm and its consequences begin to seep into daily routines—health, work, and hope—their struggle becomes both intimate and urgent, revealing how disaster can be slow, personal, and hard to name. Ann Pancake’s debut novel blends lyrical realism with a sharply observant, emotionally driven narrative to explore what happens when survival depends on forces beyond anyone’s control. At its core, this is a story about environmental injustice, resilience, and the moral cost of looking away.
