Together, these two young people work to form a family, though neither has any idea how to accomplish that, and the odds are against them in a place with little to offer other than bluegrass music, tobacco fields, and a Walmart full of beer and firearms for the hunting season. Their path is harrowing, but Lucy and Jeptha are characters to love, and readers will root for their success in a novel so riveting that no one will want to turn out the light until they know whether this family will survive.\u003cbr\u003e In luminous prose, debut novelist Elizabeth Chiles Shelburne brings us a present-day Appalachian story in the tradition of Lee Smith, Silas House, and Ron Rash, cast without sentiment or cliché, but with a genuine and profound understanding of the place and its people. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Blair","offers":[{"title":"Holding on to Nothing | Elizabeth Chiles Shelburne | Hardcover | 9781949467086 | Used: Like New | Back Stacks C 1758078","offer_id":49178483916952,"sku":"1758078","price":9.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/81CtJHkc4kL.jpg?v=1780074822","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/holding-on-to-nothing","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
