Book Description

Subtitle: A Story Journey Through Appalachia. Author: Donald Davis. About the Author: DONALD DAVIS is the author of five previous August House books including Southern Jack Tales, a collection of Appalachian Jack tales, Telling Your Own Stories, a manual for personal story reconstruction, and Listening for the Crack of Dawn, to which See Rock City is the sequel. Christmas at Grandma's, one of his ten audiocassettes, is the recipient of both the Parents' Choice Honor Award and the American Library Association Notable Children's Recording award. A perennial favorite at the National Storytelling Festival, Davis lives on Ocracoke Island, North Carolina. . Awards: Storytelling World Award. Book description: When Donald Davis's Listening for the Crack of Dawn introduced the memorable people of 1950s Sulphur Springs, North Carolina, it won the Anne Izard Storyteller's Choice Award and attracted filmmakers. His novel Thirten Miles From Suncrest further explored Appalachian character and humor, this time set in 1910-1913; it became a March 1995 Literary Guild selection.Now Donald Davis returns to Sulphur Springs through the wide eyes of an innocent, forthright narrator: ¡°Years later I came to realize that when you come from a long-dammed-up Scots-Irish Gene pool, it is an OK thing to wish for something, but it is not an OK thing to get it.¡±So it is in the narrator's family. It was OK to want a new house. But once the family got the new house, nothing was to be OK for some time. The long-reliable Plymouth gave way. Then, on the first Sunday in the new house, they almost burned it down. With Mother warning, ¡°Trouble always comes in threes!¡± the family embarked on an ill-conceived Florida vacation.With two young boys in the back seat and two adults from the long-dammed-up Scots-Irish gene pool in the front¡ªthe trip was doomed. Only mother's intuition saved the day. She kept the rules one step ahead of the back seat contestants until she offered the ultimate prize for the first sighting of a barn painted SEE ROCK CITY.The title story's surprise ending resonates with Davis's trademark tsunami of good feeings. Throughout these stories, Davis works his award-winning story magic, combining hilarious characters with a compelling mixture of tension and epiphany. . (Aug)
