Author: Donna Everhartová
11,52 €
In Georgia in 1932, Del, Rae, and Cornelia meet at a camp where resin is collected. Work in the pine forests seems like a final opportunity, but low pay, dependence on the owners, and isolation turn it into a trap. Donna Everhart follows people who need both support and the courage to change their fate.
At the harsh Swallow Hill turpentine camp, the three struggle to survive and find a way forward. Their personal histories encounter a labor system that restricts choice. The historical novel connects relationships and mutual help with the social experience of the Great Depression.
This Czech-language e-book comes in EPUB and MOBI formats.
