The year is 1929, and newlyweds George and Serena Pemberton arrive in the North Carolina mountains to create a timber empire, vowing to let no one stand in their way, especially those newly rallying around Teddy Roosevelt`s nascent environmental movement. Yet when Serena begins to suspect that George`s allegiances may lie elsewhere, she unleashes her full fury on the young mountain woman who bore his illegitimate child the year before. Rash`s masterful balance of violence and beauty yields a powerfully riveting story that, at its core, tells of love both honored and betrayed. `Serena catapults Ron Rash to the front ranks of the best American novelists.` Pat Conroy `A complex and compelling study of human greed and the grimmest of lusts that for wealth and power.An epic achievement.` Jeffrey Lent, bestselling author of In the Fall.
