Glorybound

In the drought-ridden mining town of Cuzzert, West Virginia (population 335), the only things that seem to change are the price of cigarettes and the roll call at prison. TIme has dried up like the rain, but two sisters, Aimee and Crystal Lemley, have set out to become prophets at Glorybound Holiness Tabernacle, the basement church where their father, Cord Lemley, was preacher. For ten years, the sisters have taken care of their mother, Dotte, while holding to the vows they took as teenagers after their father skipped town: Crystal has kept silent, and Aimeee has kept chaste. When the new teacher from Chicago, Aubrey Falls, attempts to reunite the Lemley family, he looses a flood of memory, misunderstanding, pain, and grievance that threatens to swap them all -- unless Aimee and Crystal can see a path to grace. -- from publisher's description.
