  <default_description>Travis Shelton is seventeen the summer he wanders into the woods onto private property near his North Carolina home, discovers a grove of marijuana large enough to make him some serious money, and steps into the jaws of a bear trap. After hours on the forest floor, hes released from the trap by the shrewd and vicious farmer who set itbut he can no longer ignore the subtle evils that underlie the life of his small Appalachian community. Before long, Travis has moved out of his parents home to live with Leonard Shuler, a one-time schoolteacher who now deals a little pot to make ends meet. Travis becomes his student, of sorts, and the fate of these two outsiders becomes increasingly entwined as the communitys violent past and corrupt present bear down on each of them from every direction.</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[Wow.  Ron Rash.  I think I've found a new writer crush. Mr. Rash doesn't seem to care all that much about plotlines.  Rather, he focuses on character development and language.  Oh, the language.  So flawless.  I guess some people have described this as historical fiction, but I don't know about that...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/14790388">more...</a>]]></body>

I thought the backstory of the Civil War slaughter was a pretty weak platform on which to rest a lot of the contemporary story. And the grittiness made me squirm. Maybe that was the author's intent, but I kept wanting to take a shower!<br/>...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/25240931">more...</a>]]></body>
