If the Creek Don't Rise por Leah Weiss
rabck from spoiledrotten; Set in Appalachia in the 1970s (although it could have been anytime in the 20th century), schoolteacher Kate is fired from her private school for assisting a student & for her lifestyle. She's hired by dirt poor Baines Creek. The chapters switch between pregnant teen Sadie, her deadbeat, abusive husband & his friend who run a Moonshine business, and a few of the other folks in the holler. I was hoping Prudence would be changed, but that didn't happen. Good ending for how Sadie escaped her marriage.… (más)
Fantastic book! Such well-written, multi-dimensional characters. I won't go over the plot but will say that the author portrays a vivid, heart-wrenching story of a hard life in the remote Appalachian mountains in the early 1970's where the law wasn't always followed and people did what they could to survive.
I loved the characters, and especially Sadie's strength at the end.
Such a great read!

This is a debut novel by Leah Weiss and it really is good.I loved the cover of this book, it made me want to know more about the girl. It is a story told from different points of view where all the story starts to fall into place. It is a tearjerker so be ready for it, but a truly remarkable read. The people of Baines Creek are honest and gritty folk. This is a book of abuse and scandal but so well written.
