Set in a small coal-mining town, a novel full of secrets, love, betrayal, and suspicious accidents, where Catholicism casts a long shadow and two courageous women make choices that will challenge our own moral convictions.
Myrthen Bergmann, from a small hillside town in West Virginia, excludes herself from all forms of friendship and affection and begins a twisted, haunted life dedicated to God, after her twin sister is killed in an accident.
"Cander divinely delves into multiple points of view, crafting a collage of vibrant, layered characters while charting six decades of poignant, precise moments. A distinctive novel that sublimely measures the distressed though determined heartbeat of a small mountain community." - Kirkus Reviews
