A gripping story about the dark side of a mountain family: a legacy of abuse that leads to murder. Told from an authentic mountain perspective, the reader experiences the familyâ€™s desperation as well as their strength and determination. The authorâ€™s simple unabashed voice completely absorbs the reader. So many emotions are evoked that the story echoes long after the last page is read.

He kneeled down beside the woman.
â€œWhatâ€™s your name?â€ Big Redâ€™s voice was compassionate.
â€œMary.â€
â€œMary what?â€
â€œTate.â€
â€œMary Tate. Whoâ€™s he?â€
â€œPa.â€
â€œWhatâ€™s his name?â€
â€œJay Press.â€
â€œYouâ€™re Mary Press Tate?â€
Her head nodded slightly. She had never looked at any of them. Her eyes remained on the face of her pa.
â€œWho shot him?â€ Big Red asked with a gentle voice.
â€œMe.â€
â€œYou shot your father?â€ Big Red lifted his brows and watched her closely.
Her head nodded again.
â€œWhy?â€
â€œHe aimed to kill me.â€
â€œWhy did he want to kill you?â€
She didnâ€™t answer.
â€œYour throat?â€ Big Red saw the purple-red of broken capillaries and knew what had happened.
â€œHe choked me. Said after he kilt me he aimed to cut me up with the axe and feed me to the dogs.â€
â€œWhy?â€
â€œTheyâ€™re hungry.â€
Big Red frowned. â€œCan I help you stand up?â€
She shook her head.
â€œCan you get up on your own?â€
â€œNo.â€
â€œWhy not?â€
â€œIâ€™m watchinâ€™ him.â€
â€œWhy?â€
â€œHe ainâ€™t dead,â€ she whispered the words.
â€œYes he is.â€
She shook her head again. â€œYou canâ€™t kill poison ivy.â€
Big Red and the first deputy exchanged glances. Big Red stood up. The second deputy didnâ€™t move. He was busy taking down notes on a notepad.
