Title: Greasewood creek
Description: "Avery is no stranger to the weight of loss, the way it shapes and defines the expanse of a life. The death of her sister, when Avery was just a child herself, engulfed her and her family--a mother driven mad, a father who disappeared, and all the while, neighbors and friends ignoring and surviving. The loss shades Avery's full being, becoming a deep part of her past and her future. As a young woman, Avery's life in Eastern Oregon ranch country is filled with an acquired family: her partner Davis; Lovell, a ranch hand and father figure; Lennie, Lovell's daughter; and Davis's grandparents. Another terrible loss triggers and revives a familiar sense of guilt, one she has carried since childhood over the disintegration of her family."--Page 4 of cover.
