Paradise or trap? In the novella "Canyon," set in the 1950s, the
Hiller family lives in some of the most beautiful country in
California, on the Upper Sacramento River near Mt. Shasta. The
father, Frank, is an intelligent but frustrated man without enough
education to escape a blue-collar railroad job. The mother, Connie,
and the three children live in the shadow of his anger, just as
their home town, Dunsmuir, lies in the shadow of the mountains. In
the story "Sump," set a decade later, the oldest son, John, gets
his chance to leave - but it may already be too late. Fear has
become a habit, and how can he hope to love any other place as much
as he loves this one?
