- Synopsis
- This is the second book in a trilogy by Hubert Skidmore about a young mountain man named York Allen. In the first book, "River Risin'", York loses his parents to pneumonia when he's young--the helplessness he feels makes him determined to become a doctor when he grows up. In this book, York has finished his medical education and returned home to the hills of West Virginia to face the suspicion and mistrust of folks poorly educated and deeply rooted in the old ways of "doctoring." As a backstory, the timber companies are coming in to clearcut the forests, creating even more strife among the mountain people.
