A captivating story of friendship and survival as the lives of three vagabonds intersect in rural Georgia and North Carolina. It takes courage to save yourself... In the dense pine forests of North Carolina, turpentiners labor, hacking into tree trunks to draw out the sticky sap that gives the Tar Heel State its nickname, and hauling the resin to stills to be refined. Among them is Rae Lynn Cobb and her husband, Warren, who run a small turpentine farm together. Though the work is hard and often dangerous, Rae Lynn, who spent her childhood in an orphanage, is thankful for it—and for her kind if careless husband. When Warren falls victim to his own negligence, Rae Lynn undertakes a desperate act of mercy. To keep herself from jail, she disguises herself as a man named "Ray" and heads to the only place she can think of that might offer anonymity—a turpentine camp in Georgia named Swallow Hill. Swallow Hill is no easy haven. The camp is isolated and squalid, and commissary owner Otis Riddle takes out his frustrations on his browbeaten wife, Cornelia. Although Rae Lynn works tirelessly, she becomes a target for Crow, the ever-watchful woods rider who checks each laborer's tally. Delwood Reese, who's come to Swallow Hill hoping for his own redemption, offers "Ray" a small measure of protection, and is determined to improve their conditions. As Rae Lynn forges a deeper friendship with both Del and Cornelia, she begins to envision a path out of the camp. But she will have to come to terms with her past, with all its pain and beauty, before she can open herself to a new life and seize the chance to begin again. Review: Loved it from chapter 5 on-stick with it!!!! NOT trashy! A rare find. - I loved this book from chapter 5 on. stuck with it, so glad I did. it seemed hodge-podge and silly in the beginning, but can't agree with those that say it's full of sex and trashy!!! Those reviews almost kept me from ordering this book. Where is it trashy? Each chapter alternates between the male and female protagonists Del and Rae Lynn's voices. Del is a skirt-chaser in the beginning, but no details (no "trashiness")...there's a story that truly absorbs you, going into the turpentine camp in the southern piney woods of Georgia. Gut wrenching conditions and characters to go with it! a totally different experience for me, a great one. well written, exciting, unpredictable, wonderful historic period descriptions, great characters. A rare find.! and a great book to follow-up another of this author's: "Where the Jessamine Grows". Review: Her books are GOLD! - A story of the trials and tribulations of Rae Lyn Cobb and Del Reese, whose misinterpreted actions lead them to a life on the run and both working in a horribly fear-invoking turpentiner’s tree farm called Swallow Hill. Del has come looking for work, after a traumatic near-death experience, has left him with important questions about himself, but with a need to work “anywhere” that he can earn a wage. Del’s tendency to question things that don’t seem fair earn him the scrutiny of the evil woods rider who handles things his own way. Rae Lyn Cobb has worked happily along side her stubborn, but careless husband on their small turpentine farm. When Warren gets badly hurt, she must perform a heartbreaking act of mercy. She fears his best friend’s actions of revenge and disguises herself as a man, fleeing to the only thing she knows how to do- working the turpentine farm. Through the daily hardships and sufferings and horrors of the happenings at the camp, Rae Lyn and Del learn to trust and lean on each other to make it through another day. Such a good book, as are all of Donna Everhart’s books! 3.75 stars ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #25,050 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #116 in Southern Fiction #140 in Family Saga Fiction #422 in Small Town & Rural Fiction (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 19,063 Reviews | ## Images ![The Saints of Swallow Hill: A Fascinating Depression Era Historical Novel - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81HrbVgRZNL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Loved it from chapter 5 on-stick with it!!!!
