Synopsis
A novel set in the North Carolina mountains in the early 1920s tells the story of two vastly different brothers--one who is embittered, wild, and dissolute, the other shy, innocent, and intent on building a rock church with his own hands, a plan that tears the community apart. By the author of Gap Creek. Reprint. 75,000 first printing.
