Told in alternating view points this book weaves the past and present, truth and fiction, folklore and legend, that sweeps from the drawing rooms of early aristocarcy to the ruins of a one room cabin in the Appalachian wilderness. A novel of simple faith and blind truth. By one of America's finest story tellers.
