In New York Times bestselling author Robert Morgan's novella, The Mountains Won't Remember Us, Sharon, an elderly widow, is recovering in a nursing home from an amputation. During this time, memories of her fiancé, Troy, who died in World War II, fills the long hours. Though Sharon married twice, her love for Troy has never gone away. Having researched his Air Corps records, she experiences a new understanding of her life, and his. What she discovers surprises both Sharon and the reader. Robert Morgan's lyric mountain language is equal to the epic sweep of history, to the grandeur of the land itself. -Lee Smith, author of Fair and Tender Ladies Robert Morgan's fiction is "about people who have a deep sense of themselves, who were not created by a huge and complicated society but by a small, simple one in which individual character sprouted slowly and in trial bloomed . . . wise, eloquent." -New York Times Book Review His characters live not just in Appalachia but where most of us do: in a world where lives converge, social inequities intrude, dignity comes with struggle, nature abides, memory persists, and meaning comes, if at all, when least expected. By putting down in prose the essential experiences of a handful of characters, Mr. Morgan has delivered something extraordinarily rare. -The Atlanta Journal and Constitution [Speaking of Gap Creek] "The work of a master . . . . [who] has created one of the most admirable heroines in modern literature. I feel that I'll remember her always.
