Description: The Ballad of Falling Rock by Jordan Dotson Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description Music is both a generational curse and salvation for the Crabtree family in 1930s Appalachia when one mans song ignites superstition, rustic fears of heaven, and a lingering Cherokee myth that has followed them across centuries. Publisher Description Truth told, folks still ask if Saul Crabtree sold his soul for the perfect hymn. If he sold it to angels or devils. A Bristol newspaper once asked: "are his love songs closer to heaven than dying?" Others wonder how he wrote a song so sad, everyone who heard it died of a broken heart.Yet, more than anything else folks ponder in the town of Trinity, one question lingers: why did this angel-toned preachers son, just as his fame seemed ready to light the Appalachian nightsky forever, disappear completely?In 1938, the decisions Saul makes will alter his familys story for generations. He and his eerily talented descendants ignite religious fear throughout Red Pine County. They navigate chapels, decaying sanatoriums, high school hallways, and a lingering myth from their Cherokee heritage that follows them wherever they go. In the end, however, its Sauls precocious grandson, Eli, who must find answers to these heartbreaking questions, who must enter this world rich in music and voices, where people die to hear the unspoken, and salvation is only found in the not-yet sung.
