Helpful Score: 2

This was a beautifully written, multilayered novel about the interrelatedness of all things. Through the eyes of three characters in southern Appalachia over the course of a summer, we are reminded of the rhythms of nature and of the effects that humans unwittingly have on ecological systems. The author also displays an understanding of family and community dynamics, which are often a mess of misunderstandings, love, resentment, and support all at once. Definitely recommended.
