Easter finds her life in the Pentecostal Holiness church and its music, while Anneth dances and drinks in less-than-holy honky-tonks. Will the differences in their young lives and in their very natures tear them apart or will the bond of the sisters prevail? In lucid prose with an ear for the voice of the sisters' time and place, Silas House brings readers a rich and moving story of coal country.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis novel was named The Appalachian Book of the Year, and was a finalist for the Southern Book Critics Circle Prize.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eBlair brings this novel into a beautiful new paperback edition, along with two other Silas House novels, \u003ci\u003eClay's Quilt\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eA Parchment of Leaves\u003c\/i\u003e.
