The Story of a Marriage
Julie Harmon is an unusual woman. She works hard - so hard that at times she's not sure she can stop. People depend on her. They're weak and there's so much to do; they need her to slaughter the hogs and nurse the sick. Julie is just a teenager when her little brother dies in her arms. That same year she marries Hank and moves down to Gap Creek, where fire and visions visit themselves upon her, and where con men and drunks come calling.
Scratching out a life for themselves in the last years of the nineteenth century, Julie and Hank find that the modern world is a complex place. They don't know what to fear most - the floods, or the flesh-and-blood grifters who insinuate themselves into their new life. To survive, they must discover whether their love is strong enough to keep the chaos and the madness at bay.
