As a child, Zorie Underwood's impoverished hometown was the only constant in her life. After her parents died of diphtheria, Zorie moved in with her aunt, whose death left her orphaned again and swept her into the grips of the Great Depression. Later, she wandered to the West, surviving by doing odd jobs and sleeping in barns and under the stars. After making her home in Indiana, she finally found the love and community that had eluded her in a small town called Hillisburg. But just as she was trying to build a new life, she discovered that the test had just begun... This extraordinary novel meticulously depicts the life of a tenacious country woman. It is a highly sympathetic and poetic work that is worthy of Representative works of famous writers such as Viva Cather and Marilyn Robinson.
