  <default_description>Will Alexander is the sheriff in a small town in southern Appalachia, and he knows that the local thug Holland Winchester has been murdered. The only thing is, the sheriff can find neither the body nor someone to attest to the killing. Simply, almost elementally told through the voices of the sheriff, a local farmer, his beautiful wife, their son, and the sheriff's deputy, One Foot in Eden signals the bellwether arrival of one the most mature and distinctive voices in southern literature.</default_description>

It was funny when I realized this book took place in that in now underwater, and it added to the drama/tragedy going on here.

    <body><![CDATA[This book was assigned in my Southern Lit class at Clemson University. My professor was Bill Koon, whom the book is dedicated to! Ron Rash was a student of his as well, and it was really neat to have someone teach a book who knows the author.

    <body><![CDATA[I read this novel because it was about families displaced by the government's move to control water.  As this kind of displacement is a focus of my dissertation research, I wanted to read about it from a different perspective.  The novel takes  place in the mountains of South Carolina.

After class I went and pick One Foot in Eden up to try and get a better perspective on Rash's writings; I could not put it down.
