Description

A Beautifully Crafted Southern Gothic Tale A SHOCKING TRAGEDY follows an unstable family to a foothill town mired in tradition and hearsay, and challenges the bucolic hamlet's unwritten code. Once the Pickett family's demons unmask themselves to the citizens of Germantown, the isolated Piedmont villagers are forced to navigate the brutal upshots of violence and trauma. Collectively, they must face hard lessons about the traumatic unpredictability of life and death that shakes it to the core. Set against the backdrop of the Great Depression, Davis's riveting historical fiction captures the timeless ripples of adversity that enshroud the human experience. The winner of the 2017 Southern Fried Karma novel contest provides a penetrating mosaic of one community's struggle to cope with the unimaginable.

Author Biography:

A native North Carolinian, Rebecca Davis decided in first grade to be a writer, after she wrote a story about becoming a paleontologist. She likes the idea of truth in storytelling-stories that are not only true about humanity but also sprinkled with historical realities, and that show the reader various facets of personal interaction. Inspired by a gruesome murder that occurred near her hometown of Germanton, NC in 1929, Rebecca wants readers to feel the gravity of tragedy, yet still feel the potential for growth and hope. She attended Salem College and earned master's degrees from Wake Forest University and the University of North Carolina at Greensboro. Currently, she teaches writing at Salem College.
