Overview

In 1885 Iowa, Sara Moore is a dutiful daughter, but when her father tries to force her to marry his younger partner, she must choose between the partner-a man who treats her like property-and James Youngblood-a kind man she hardly knows who has a troubled past. When she confronts her father, he beats her and turns her out of the house, breaking all ties, so she decides to elope with James to Kansas City with hardly a penny to their names. In the tradition of Willa Cather's O Pioneers! and Zora Neale Hurston's Their Eyes Were Watching God, Earth's Imagined Corners is a novel that comprehends the great kindnesses and violences we do to each other.
