(Paperback)

With a quiet, muscular violence and biblical cadence that readers of Cormac McCarthy will recognize, Linney takes readers into the 1850s, where an idealistic bishop from New England and a life-whipped, sorrowful transient named Starns struggle to win souls and transform the valley.

(Paperback)

In award-winning Linney's exquisitely written exercise in self-destruction, a 19th-century nameless and poorly educated housewife records a remarkable diary of her dark, disintegrating journey into guilt and suffering.
