viii, 372 pages ; 21 cm. In Georgia's Swallow Hill turpentine camp in 1932, Rae Lynn Cobb, disguised as a man, hides out from those who would wrongly accuse her for murdering her husband and struggles to survive harsh, brutal conditions with the help of two individuals with their own tragic pasts. In the dense pine forests of North Carolina turpentiners hack into tree trunks to draw out the sticky sap that gives the Tar Heel State its nickname. Rae Lynn Cobb and her husband, Warren, run a small turpentine farm together. When Warren falls victim to his own negligence, Rae Lynn is blamed. She disguises herself as a man named "Ray" and heads to a turpentine camp in Georgia named Swallow Hill. In the isolated camp, commissary owner Otis Riddle takes out his frustrations on his browbeaten wife, Cornelia. Rae Lynn becomes a target for Crow, the woods rider who checks each laborer's tally. Delwood Reese offers Ray a small measure of protection, and is determined to improve their conditions. Rae Lynn will have to come to terms with her past before she can open herself to a new life and seize the chance to begin again. -- adapted from front flap. adult Donna Everhart. n-us-ga Turpentine industry workers Fiction Labor camps Georgia History 20th century Fiction Depressions 1929 Georgia Fiction Disguise Fiction Abris pour travailleurs Géorgie (État) Histoire 20e siècle Romans, nouvelles, etc Crises économiques 1929 Géorgie (État) Romans, nouvelles, etc Déguisement Romans, nouvelles, etc Georgia Social conditions 20th century Fiction Géorgie (État) Conditions sociales 20e siècle Romans, nouvelles, etc 9781496733320 1496733320 9781496733337 1496733339 2022287503 Kensington Pub Corp, C/O Penguin Random House Attn: Order Processing 405 Murray Hill Pkwy, East Rutherford, NJ, USA, 07073-2136 220718 20241218112715.0 1292019984
