Synopsis
Naïve yet idealistic college graduate TABATHA DEARSTONE joins a government program as a welfare worker, and then plunges her car off an icy road into a freezing river in the mountains of Western North Carolina. She finds herself living a year-long nightmare-her "rescuer," handsome young mountain man RALLY FOX, is a sadistic, murderous moonshiner who rapes her and forces her into marriage. Tabatha's "citified" ways earn her the name "City" from the mountain clan as she discovers that the tables are turned. It is City who must learn the mountain way of life if she is to survive. City's life is in even greater jeopardy as she dares to defy Rally to protect her only ally, an eight-year-old orphan whose life is more precious than her own.

À propos de l?auteur
First time writer Emory Rhea Raxter was born in Asheville, North Carolina but was raised in Greeneville, Tennessee. After earning a B.S. degree from Jacksonville University in Florida, she returned home and took her place in her family's business. After placing her creative nature on the backburner for nearly three decades, Raxter now reaches you with her first novel. Raxter's love for the Western North Carolina mountains, unique understanding of the flavors that make up the area in which she was born and raised, the down right digging and personal interviews conducted have generated an unforgettable page turner. Literary critics have responded that the raw grit in Raxter's work brings to mind the writings of Elmore Leonard. Others claim that they have not been so shaken by a work since 'Silence of the Lamb's.' Still others reported that what they most enjoy is Raxter's unique style. BY THE LIGHT OF THE BIRD HOUSE, the sequel to BY THE LIGHT OF THE FOXFIRE is now available.
