The Sisters from Hardscrabble Bay

Published posthumously through the efforts of Beverly Jensen's many supporters this widely acclaimed novel-in-stories offers a richly textured portrait of a bygone era. In 1916 Idella and Avis Hillock live on the edge of a chilly bluff in New Brunswick-a barren world of potato farms and lobster traps rough men hard work and baffling beauty. From Gone the heartbreaking account of the crisis that changed their lives forever through Wake a darkly comic saga of funeral plans gone awry <i>The Sisters from Hardscrabble Bay</i> beautifully charts the trajectory of the Hillocks' divergent lives against the background of a lost slice of Americana.
