Description
A rich and multilayered post-Civil War saga unfolds against the breathtaking backdrop of Appalachia. Cataloochee is a story of three generations of families, their dreams, downfalls, and faith, set in the mountains of North Carolina. As progress winds its way to the valley, the community transforms from wilderness to home, with hard work and determination shaping the lives of those who call it home. However, tragedy will touch one of the clans in a single, unimaginable act, forcing them to confront the harsh realities of change and loss. Wayne Caldwell brings to life the historic struggles and close kinships of this community over six decades, weaving together humor, darkness, beauty, and wisdom into a powerful tale of place and family.
