The funny, touching story of a mangy, flea-bitten mutt and her grumpy, hard-bitten savior set in the Appalachian highlands of Virginia. Southern storytelling at its best from the author of A SHORT HISTORY OF A SMALL PLACE and EAGLESWORTH.
Ray Tatum tangles with the rural Virginia MAGA crowd in a collision of homespun charity and bigoted villainy. He's more than the blood and soil set can handle.
A small Virginia town, long since bypassed by the interstate, has but two claims on historical significance -- a plaque marking the route where General Longstreet's army retired from a defeat and a near derelict Georgian mansion called Eaglesworth. The house sits on a hilltop, neglected and weathered, until a stranger rolls in to bring it back to life. The lively story of the sordid secrets the renovation reveals is told by a pack of local barflies, a ragged bunch of half-cocked civic boosters and gossips who give us history as seen through the bottom of a shot glass. Funny, bittersweet, and glancingly philosophical, Eaglesworth is a fanciful biography of a place, a latter-day slice of the Old Dominion that the Sage of Monticello would hardly recognize.
