This story is the most tragic I have read in a long time. If it is not one thing it is another. The couple are beset with more disaster than I would wish on an enemy and yet they survive. It is truly the story of a marriange. Set in Appalachia, the story follows the couple's life for one year as they move down from their mountain to Gap Creek where they hope to make their life together. After all that befalls them, some of it of their own making, they seem to be stronger in their commitment to each other. I can see why Oprah picked this for her club. The writing is from the wife's perspective and is in the voice of a trusting, capable, accepting woman with little education but a lot of heart.
