After a family death interrupts Henry Phillips’s college education, he returns to the farm in Wise, West Virginia, with grief, anger and little sense of direction. Music and work offer temporary steadiness, but his choices increasingly affect Margaret Hoffman and her younger sister Mayfair, whose fragile health and unusual perception place heavy responsibilities on Margaret.
Henry and Margaret’s difficult friendship develops against the rhythms of farming, household labour and local expectations in postwar Appalachia. As both families face illness and the consequences of Henry’s recklessness, the novel explores the unequal burdens carried by young men and women, the persistence of extended-family support and the slow reconstruction of trust after bereavement.
