Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. First novel by Melanie Thon who was selected as one of Granta's 20 best young American novelists. Ex-library with brodart sleeve over the VG dustjacket. Stated First Edition 1990. "Bullied wives, maimed men, haters of Indians, exhibitionists, petty preachers and rebel congregations are among the northern Montana townspeople who grope for individual deliverance in the background of this exceptionally promising debut novel. Misfit Lizzie, its adolescent narrator, escapes her older sister's predicament--a teenage pregnancy that caused her to run away when Lizzie was still a child--and concludes: First Edition stated."I figured a girl wasn't going to get too many breaks in her life and that I'd better find a way to show God I was grateful." She is guided by the local Holy Roller ("Jesus might be kind, but God and Mrs. Graves were only merciful"), but observes that fire-and-brimstone goodness does not stave off catastrophe. Rather, she learns not to reject sin but to forgive it. her perceptions of the stultifying rural squalor are wrenchingly palpable.". Seller Inventory # 12345766
