Beschreibung
Ohio, 1838. James and Sadie Goodenough have settled in the Black Swamp, planting apple trees to claim the land as their own. Life is harsh in the swamp, and as fever picks off their children, husband and wife take solace in separate comforts. Their fighting takes its toll on all of the family - a battle that will resonate over the years and across America. Fifteen years later their son, Robert, is forced to confront the brutal reason he left behind everything he loved. Rich, evocative, original!
