(A unique look at the Jehovah's Witnesses in the rural wes...)
A unique look at the Jehovah's Witnesses in the rural western United States and the logging industry in Northern California during the 1970s, By Way of Water, addresses the devastating effects of poverty on rural families. Struggling to feed their children in an unforgiving California forest when there are no logging jobs to be found, Jake and Dale Colby make personal vows that only make matters worse. Jake will not accept help from the government or his neighbors, and Dale won't allow him to hunt, believing her faith will sustain them. But one other member of the family makes a promise to herself. Seven-year-old Justy believes that she alone can hold the family together, even when her father's violence resurfaces.
Charlotte Gullick is an American award-winning writer, novelist, essayist, editor, and educator. Her novel By Way of Water won the 2001 Santa Fe Writers Project Literary Award Grand Prize.
