In this award-winning collection of linked short stories, Laura
Pritchett balances gritty material with genuine warmth and
understanding of character. Hell's Bottom is more than a ranch.
Home to Renny, one of those women who prefers "a little Hell
swirled with their Heaven", and her husband, Ben, who's "gotten
used to smoothing over Renny's excesses", the ranch has been the
site of births and deaths of both cattle and children, as well as
moments of amazing harmony and clear vision.
A day of haying turns violent in "A New Name Each Day", while in
"Rattlesnake Fire", Ben and his estranged sister must decide
whether to put aside their differences to save families trapped by
a forest fire. In Pritchett's masterful hands, the western
landscape becomes a zone of familial crisis and, sometimes,
transcendence.
