About this audiobook
Suffocating in a sleepy New England village, Charity Royall embarks on a passionate, illicit affair with a visiting architect. The relationship exposes her to the judgment of the town and the dark secrets of her own "mountain trash" lineage. As the summer heat fades, she is forced to confront the limitations of her class and gender. This novel is a raw exploration of sexual awakening and the crushing weight of social determinism.
