Vinegar Hill
In a stark, troubling, yet ultimately triumphant celebration of self-determination, award-winning author A. It is 1972 when circumstance carries Ellen Grier and her family back to Holly's Field, Wisconsin. Manette Ansay re-creates a stifling world of guilty and pain, and the tormented souls who inhabit it.
Behind a facade of false piety, there are sins and secrets in this place that could crush a vibrant young woman's passionate spirit. Dutifully accompanying her newly unemployed husband, Ellen has brought her two children into the home of her in-laws on Vinegar Hill -- a loveless house suffused with the settling dust of bitterness and routine -- where calculated cruelty is a way of life preserved and perpetuated in the service of a rigid, exacting and angry God. And here Ellen must find the straight to endure, change, and grow in the all-pervading darkness that threatens to destroy everything she is and everyone she loves.
