In August 1984, California's San Joaquin Valley farmers face a third harvest rain and the loss of their land. The Rhodes family awakens to an undiscovered world as events destroy their hopes and illusions and alter forever their sense of reality and the forces that shape it. Delmus Rhodes drinks, obsessed with memories of World War II, his Depression-era childhood, and an unsolved murder. His wife Kyla is torn between Dolly Mable, her long-estranged mother who has suddenly reappeared, and Kate, her daughter, who pursues a secret romance and listens to Dolly's exotic tales of a notorious past. A dramatic national election, a spate of violent crimes, and natural disasters mirror the Rhodeses' personal upheavals, while California's rich tapestry of history and legend provides the backdrop to this family saga of loss and renewal.Hanson, Nels is the author of 'Angels, Awake' with ISBN 9780595167128 and ISBN 0595167128.
