Among them is Rae Lynn Cobb and her husband, Warren, who run a small turpentine farm together. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThough the work is hard and often dangerous, Rae Lynn, who spent her childhood in an orphanage, is thankful for it--and for her kind if careless husband. When Warren falls victim to his own negligence, Rae Lynn undertakes a desperate act of mercy. To keep herself from jail, she disguises herself as a man named \"Ray\" and heads to the only place she can think of that might offer anonymity--a turpentine camp in Georgia named Swallow Hill. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eSwallow Hill is no easy haven. The camp is isolated and squalid, and commissary owner Otis Riddle takes out his frustrations on his browbeaten wife, Cornelia. Although Rae Lynn works tirelessly, she becomes a target for Crow, the ever-watchful woods rider who checks each laborer's tally. Delwood Reese, who's come to Swallow Hill hoping for his own redemption, offers \"Ray\" a small measure of protection, and is determined to improve their conditions. As Rae Lynn forges a deeper friendship with both Del and Cornelia, she begins to envision a path out of the camp. But she will have to come to terms with her past, with all its pain and beauty, before she can open herself to a new life and seize the chance to begin again. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003e\"Fans of Sarah Addison Allen won't be able to put it down.\" \u003ci\u003e--Booklist\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDonna Everhart\u003c\/b\u003e is the \u003ci\u003eUSA Today\u003c\/i\u003e bestselling author of Southern fiction with authenticity and grit, including \u003ci\u003eThe Saints of Swallow Hill, \u003c\/i\u003ethe Indie Next List selection \u003ci\u003eThe Education of Dixie Dupree, The Forgiving Kind, The Moonshiner's Daughter\u003c\/i\u003e, and the Southeastern Library Association Award-winning novel, \u003ci\u003eThe Road to Bittersweet\u003c\/i\u003e.
