For "New York Times" reporter Dennis Covington, what began as a journalistic assignment--covering the trial of an Alabama pastor convicted of attempting to murder his wife with poisonous snakes--would evolve into a headlong plunge into a bizarre, mysterious, and ultimately irresistible world of unshakable faith: the world of holiness snake handling. Set in the heart of Appalachia, "Salvation on Sand Mountain" is Covington's unsurpassed and chillingly captivating exploration of the nature, power, and extremity of faith--an exploration that gradually turns inward, until Covington finds himself taking up the snakes.
"Marriage is like a rain forest," Vicki Covington writes in
Cleaving. "The story of a marriage contains all that grows in the
canopy, all that is visible from an aerial, or public, view. The
understory of a marriage is the place where . . . we struggle,
fight, and conceive. It's the place where compost is made, where
anything can grow, including forgiveness." Told in the authors'
alternating voices, Cleaving is both the story and the understory
of a marriage.
