After eleven-year-old Jane-Ery loses her father in a sawmill accident, Grandpap comes down from Salter’s Mountain to live with her and her mother. To Jane-Ery’s surprise, Grandpap’s funny ways and strange stories bring her a comfort she never expected. He tells her about Day’s Bottom, “a place of light and wonderment” that has “anything a body could ever want.” Jane-Ery wonders: Could she find Daddy there? So begins her search for a new kind of understanding of her father’s death. This gently told, beautifully rendered novel brings to life a time and place readers will come to love, Virginia’s Blue Ridge Mountains in the 1950s.
