Description

Dawn Jewell is a restless and curious fifteen-year-old girl. She lives with her addict mother and her grandmother, who has earned the community's ire for speaking out against mountaintop removal mining. Robert Gipe's debut novel, Trampoline, brings this young woman to life in jagged and honest prose. Inspired by oral tradition, Gipe's raw and whimsical drawings punctuate a powerful portrait of a place struggling with economic and social forces that threaten its very existence. At the heart of the story is Dawn's struggle to decide whether to save a mountain or save herself, as she navigates the complexities of love, anger, and loyalty. Trampoline is a raw and unflinching portrayal of life in eastern Kentucky, where the lines between right and wrong are often blurred.
