This is a beautifully woven story about two teens who confront the effects of generational poverty in a small Appalachian community where the true costs of fracking are slowly becoming more apparent. Nora Shalaway Carpenter writes with a deft authenticity, that is in equal measure spine tingling and heartbreaking.
