This collection of eleven short stories depicts poor, rural characters in upstate New York, struggling to maintain balance and personal stability amid family disintegration, random misfortune, and death. ''These characters are distinguished,'' says novelist Paul Theroux, by their powerful sense of place and most of all for the grim humor of their humanity.'' Award-winning author Jonathan Penner writes, ''Little more than stubbornness makes these people possible milks the cows, fells the timber, repairs the ancient, dangerous tractor. Yet in every story, nobility gleams through the muck. Ian MacMillan has chronicled a culture exotic to most of us through characters in whom we see precisely who we might have been. His stories are invaluable and unforgettable.''
