Dear Librarian, In WHERE THE LAKE BECOMES THE RIVER, Parrish McCullough wrestles with "The Truth About Life After Death"--it's haunted her since her father died and her mother installed a phone line to his grave. Protecting some Civil Rights workers, Parrish takes a risk that sends her onto the razor's edge between living and dying, learns of the soul's survival-- and finds an unexpected romance. Winner of the 2008 Novello Literary Award (underwritten by Charles Frazier's Cold Mountain Foundation), and included in PW's 2008 Fall Preview, the book's been called: "Homespun and profound, deadpan and poetic, hilarious and heartbreaking"--Joseph Bathanti; "A book of great tenderness...full of swagger and sass."--Virginia Holman; "Lush as kudzu...as mysterious as creatures swimming unseen in a cool, dark, southern pond."--Nancy Peacock; and "Delectable, unforgettable...a current of gorgeous prose and irresistible storytelling that will carry you away." --Pamela Duncan.
