"[An] eloquent, sorrowful novel....Readers of both Pat Conroy, on
one hand, and Carson McCullers, on the other, will relish Newton's
flawed characters and piquant portrayal of small town
life."--Booklist (starred review) "Under The Mercy Trees will take
your breath away."--Robin Antalek, author of The Summer We Fell
Apart Heather Newton's Under the Mercy Trees is a beautifully
rendered, heartbreaking first novel that heralds the arrival of an
exciting new voice in Southern fiction. The poignant and
unforgettable story of a man forced to face his troubled past when
he returns to his small hometown in the mountains of North Carolina
following the disappearance of his brother, Under the Mercy Trees
adds the name Heather Newton to a sterling list of acclaimed
authors in the Southern literary tradition that already includes
Reynolds Price, Kaye Gibbons, Jill McCorkle, Clyde Edgerton, and
Tom Franklin.
