    [synopsis] => "A stirring, powerful, and heart-wrenching story of coming-of-age, falling in love, and trying to lead a life of dignity." - Jeff Zenter, Morris Award-Winning Author of The Serpent King
	"Driven by mystery and peppered with themes relevant to young readers such as identity, betrayal, and romance. A bleak yet compelling portrayal of Appalachian mountain life." - Kirkus Reviews
	"Complex and realistic…written with impressive nuance and strength. Russell's debut offers a moving picture of a specific time and place." - ALA Booklist
	"A gritty portrait of poverty and the opioid crisis in the rural South… Readers will be reminded of plotlines from Riverdale, and will appreciate the thoughtful character development and suspenseful pacing." - School Library Journal
	"The romance between Harlowe and Tennessee is the story's focus, but Harlowe's relationships with his family…will linger most with readers. Debut author Russell faithfully renders the distinctive cultural norms and stark realities of Appalachian life, including the depth of poverty, while reminding readers of the region's beauty and resilience. Along the way, she sends a subtle message that embracing one's background, rather than fighting against it, can provide a road to the future." - Publishers Weekly
	"Harlowe's melancholy narration makes this satisfying backcountry noir from the start... a vivid portrayal of a county literally and figuratively stained and disfigured by the mine, in which it's nearly impossible to thrive and from which it's nearly impossible to escape." - Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books
