The Hangman's Beautiful Daughter
From the chestnut blight of the 1930's to industrial water pollution today, this novel looks at environmental issues and the issue of environmental responsibility. In this novel, sorrow comes to the mountain community in the guise of a murder/suicide on a remote farm and via a polluted river that brings death into the valley. Nora Bonesteel, with her graveyard quilt and her herbal remedies, does what she can to protect the ordinary folk from tragedy. This is a wonderful novel to trace the continuance of Celtic heritage and folkways into America's eastern mountains, which were settled by Britain's highlanders.
