Summary, Etc. "Betty Pace walks readers through a tumultuous year in the life of Fern, an adventurous, trailblazing first-year teacher, who has traveled deep into the hills of Eastern Kentucky in August 1961 to teach twenty-one students in a one room schoolhouse. Before the sun rises, Fern begins her day trudging through the thick terrain and hollers of Twisting Sourwood where she happens upon wild animals, small town secrets and a murder of a young boy and his mother. Fern and two other teachers leave their homes across Kentucky and West Virginia to board with the Sizemore family who teach the young educators how to cook, pack in coal, play Rook and steer clear of feuding families and flooded waters as they navigate their way through reading, arithmetic and writing lessons with their students. While nestled in a schoolhouse deep in the Appalachian mountains, Fern aspires to raise enough money to travel to exciting places that she has read about where she will eat in fancy restaurants that are surrounded by tall building stocked full of sharp dressed businessmen who work in high paying jobs."-- Publisher's site.
