debut novel for Ron Rash

One Foot in Eden by Ron Rash
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

This is the debut novel for Ron Rash, whose writing i have come to appreciate. This is a story of family secrets which lead up to a tragic event, the details of which become what may be the final family secret, perhaps never to be revealed. The story is told from the viewpoint of the four major characters, each adding their own perspective and motives to the tale. This story gives insight into personal issues surrounding small town Appalachia preceding the impending flooding of land and town by the Duke Power dam which created Lake Jocassee.
