Her mother's death sets into motion the events that become her hell. Her father's surprise marriage brings into their home a calculating and money-grabbing woman and her troubled teenage son, who terrorizes Katelin with vicious attacks and cold-bloodied threats that force her to forsake Walter, her true love, and at sixteen to marry a man she hardly knows.
Southern fiction of often described as having a powerful sense of place. Acclaimed author and North Carolina's past Poet Laureate Fred Chappell defined Southern fiction as having eight elements: A deep involvement in place; family bonds; a celebration of eccentricity; a strong narrative voice; themes of racial guilt, human endurance, and local tradition; a sense of impending loss; a pervasive sense of humor in the face of tragedy; and an inability to leave the past behind. With precision and authenticity, JB Hamilton Queen and Louie Dillon cover all that ground in their first novel, Raincrow.

Their writing is professional and inventive. Collaborative imagination is rare, but they pull it off.

A compelling southern sage, beautifully written and masterfully interwoven with deeply human displays of passionate loves and tragic losses.

Raincrow resonates with the rhythm and accent of Appalachia, a wonderful tale of sin and salvation, lost and fulfilled dreams.
