Description: "Anna Stockton was a bright and imaginative child, reveling in a rare, wild freedom in the mountains of western North Carolina. As a young woman, possessed by romantic yearnings and a great love of books, she hungers for a new kind of life for herself. John Bayley is a hard-driven hill farmer who carries with him the pain of the early death of his father and the loss of two previous wives.

When an unexpected encounter brings the two of them together, Anna and John marry into a difficult and fiery union, one that mirrors the changing, sometimes violent and haunted times in which they live."--BOOK JACKET.
