Description
In the rural mountains of Kentucky in the early 1900s, a young man seeking work in the Redbud Camp is drawn into a fateful encounter with Vine, a Cherokee girl whose presence stirs both longing and fear in the men around her. As World War I reshapes daily life and tests the bonds of family and community, Vine and those who love her must navigate desire, duty, and the quiet power of women building resilience in uncertain times. Silas House’s nationally best-selling novel blends lyrical storytelling with a vivid sense of place, illuminating Cherokee culture and the emotional costs of myth, rumor, and choice. At its heart, this is a meditation on the limits of human connection—how hope can ignite a life, and how love can demand more than anyone expects.
