Like birds blown off course, the characters in these stories need a
place to roost-somewhere to settle long enough to repair their
ragged hearts-and they find it near the banks of the mythical
Sissipahaw River. In the centerpiece story, an eighteenth-century
Eno Indian tells of the fiery fate of his adopted father, English
explorer John Lawson. In the surrounding stories, the age-old
conflicts between newcomer and old-timer play out as twenty-first
century retirees, carnies, runaways, heartbroken women, and farmers
stumble into new lives and new insights in Ambler County, North
Carolina. "Hudson's prose is pure as birdsong," says novelist Doris
Betts. "These fine stories of change and discovery are a field
guide to the human species in transition."
