Wade Talbot relishes the chaos of journalism. He starts as editor
of weekly newspaper in North Carolina and becomes a reporter in New
York just as the civil rights struggles explode in the 1960s. Becky
Anderson leaps from her little southern town to college, to New
York and then to Europe, where through sheer grit she becomes a
force in the movie business. Wade romanticizes his boyhood in the
hills of home. Becky, perennially short of money, can't wait to
break away. But something clicks between them. They compete, they
quarrel, they savage each other, and one day in the deep, rolling
hills of old Virginia they come together. MOUNTAIN GIRL is a
history of the Amercian civil rights movement, a gritty travelogue
with stops in Paris and an island in the Mediterranean, and a
sexual duel in which both partners learn and grow. Becky loses a
baby. She and Wade begin to hike the 2,200 mile Appalachian Trail.
Wade finds, finally, a theme for the novel he wants to write. But
at a cost. He walks alone at the end to keep a promise, to climb a
special mountain.
