Reviews
"Compelling . . . Despite hardships, again and again the family and the land assert their claim on these characters, and on the reader. . . . House knows what's important and reminds us of the values of family and home, love and loyalty." The Philadelphia Inquirer "Here is life in the hills as we enter the twenty-first centurythe love of the land, the fierce loyalty to family, the church, substance abuse, and violence. . . . Silas House writes from deep within the culture and presents his world without apology or gloss." CHRIS OFFUTT

Synopsis
"A YOUNG WRITER OF IMMENSE GIFTS . . . One of the best books I have ever read about contemporary life in the mountains of southern Appalachia. . . . I could see and feel Free Creek, and the mountain above it." -LEE SMITH After his mother is killed, four-year-old Clay Sizemore finds himself alone in a small Appalachian mining town. At first, unsure of Free Creek, he slowly learns to lean on its residents as family. There's Aunt Easter, who is always filled with a sense of foreboding, bound to her faith above all; quiltmaking Uncle Paul; untamable Evangeline; and Alma, the fiddler whose song wends it way into Clay's heart. Together, they help Clay fashion a quilt of a life from what treasured pieces surround him. . . . "A long love poem to the hills of Kentucky. It flows with Appalachian music, religion, and that certain knowledge that your people will always hold you close. . . . Like the finely stitched quilts that Clay's Uncle Paul labors over, the author sews a flawless seam of folks who love their home and each other." -Southern Living "Unpretentious and clear-eyed . . . A tale whose joys are as legitimate as its sorrows." - The Roanoke Times, "A YOUNG WRITER OF IMMENSE GIFTS . . .
