Publisher Description
A Rare Treat for Lovers of Adventure, Romance, and Language.
Set in Eastern Kentucky circa 1900, THE DEVIL'S BACK chronicles the early years of Laurey Castle and Adam Moore's marriage. Theirs is both a joyful and difficult union complicated by a twenty-year difference in their ages. THE DEVIL'S BACK is more than an engaging narrative, however. Parsons' personal roots in the Big Sandy River Region and her careful research combine to authentically resurrect a time, a place and its people. Her original and authoritative voice does not waver as she brings to life the sprawling Castle and Moore families and their Appalachian culture. Reminiscent of Robert Morgan's GAP CREEK, THE DEVIL'S BACK is both a delightful read and a significant contribution to a region's history and folklore.
