Synopsis

Prepare to add Rally Cecile Fox to the list of most memorable villains in literature! Fox will join the likes of Bill Sikes, Annie Wilkes, Nurse Ratched and even Hannibal Lecter. It is 1960. Idealistic college graduate Tabatha Dearstone has been assigned to the mountain community of River Gorge in her new career as a welfare worker. Rescued from her plunge into icy Turkey Neck Creek by handsome young mountain man Rally Fox, she will disappear into an unimaginable nightmare. Fox is the sadistic, murderous leader of a moonshine clan. He claims her and wants to force her into marriage. Held captive above Spill Mill, with no way to escape, Tabatha must learn mountain ways and fight psychological battles of wit and will, if she is to survive. Her one ally is an eight year old boy, Clyne Evans, whose life becomes more precious than her own.

About this title

About the Author

First time writer Emory Rhea Raxter was born in Asheville, North Carolina but was raised in Greeneville, Tennessee. After earning a B.S. degree from Jacksonville University in Florida, she returned home and took her place in her family's business. After placing her creative nature on the backburner for nearly three decades, Raxter now reaches you with her first novel. Raxter's love for the Western North Carolina mountains, unique understanding of the flavors that make up the area in which she was born and raised, the down right digging and personal interviews conducted have generated an unforgettable page turner. Literary critics have responded that the raw grit in Raxter's work brings to mind the writings of Elmore Leonard. Others claim that they have not been so shaken by a work since 'Silence of the Lamb's.' Still others reported that what they most enjoy is Raxter's unique style. BY THE LIGHT OF THE BIRD HOUSE, the sequel to BY THE LIGHT OF THE FOXFIRE is now available.
