Book summary

The once-bucolic Hunt's Station, New Hampshire is now plagued by toxic dumps. Returning after fifteen years, Hank Rodgers finds sickened inhabitants, among them his father and Clare Hunt, the daughter of the dump-owner. It is up to Hank to speak out against the passive silence that has allowed Hunt's Station to ruin itself in waste.

Media Reviews


"No artificial fairy-godmother endings. No escapes. Just real life....[Jennings] is beautiful."

   -- Carolyn Chute

Publisher Notes


When Hank Rodgers returns to Hunt's Station after years in New York, he finds an isolated mountain hamlet threatened by a toxic waste dump poisoning the environment, the dump's greedy and powerful owner, and guilt-ridden citizens whose only solace is impromtu country music recitals.
