Summary

"While reporting on the manhunt for terrorist Eric Rudolph in the Smoke Mountains of Appalachia, journalist John Wade Christensen becomes fascinated by people in a town hard hit by economic misfortune. His initial assignment complete, he returns often over the next eighteen months to document their passion and resilience. Over coffee and meals and in their homes and businesses, he witnesses kindness and generosity, humor and hope, scandal and forgiveness, death and renewal. In his 50s, he decides to revisit the project where he discovers something that had escaped his notice before, something that could change his life. But there's a catch: he must include a story he never thought he'd have to tell -- his own"--, adapted from back cover
