Mary Ann Taylor-Hall's highly acclaimed first novel, Come and
Go, Molly Snow, introduces us to Carrie Marie Mullins, a gifted
Kentucky bluegrass fiddler and singer in the Hawktown Road band.
After moving to Lexington to develop her talents, Carrie becomes
infatuated with the band's leader, Cap Dunlap. Her romantic
distraction prevents Carrie from saving her five-year-old daughter,
Molly, when she careens down the driveway and is killed by a truck.
Overwhelmed with grief, Carrie breaks down. Cap finds Carrie in
this state of distress and takes her to Ona and Ruth Barkley, two
elderly sisters living in an old farmhouse. It is on the sisters'
farm that Carrie is able to slowly come to terms with her heartache
and guilt over Molly's death. As she picks up the pieces of her
shattered life, Carrie draws on the two women's friendship, her
inner strength, and finally, the healing power of music.
