AUTHOR

Kessler, Brad

SUMMARY

Lick Creek is the compelling story of a fiery young woman, Emily Jenkins, & what happens when progress--& tragedy--comes to her family's West Virginia farm. Kessler has a generous & keen eye for natural landscape & its power in human life. In his profound, dramatic, first novel, he explores the complex intersections of faith, tradition, & innovation. After the coal mine deaths of her father, brother, & the first man she loved, Emily struggles to support herself & her mother. When construction begins on the power lines, she blames the intruders for everything that has gone awry--for her mother's increasing withdrawal from life, & for the lives already lost. But when an electrical worker is struck by lightning, & her mother takes him in, Emily is seduced by the mystery of his past--his immigration from Russia, his own mother's deportations, & the world of Jewish immigrants forced to flee persecution in their homelands. Moving from romance to high drama, Kessler illuminates the role of electricity in the transformation of rural life & the particular electricity between two vastly different people whose worlds & passions collide.Kessler, Brad is the author of 'Lick Creek' with ISBN 9780743201605 and ISBN 0743201604.
