Overview
Caught in the crossfires of Mississippi's racial tensions, Parrish McCollough is shadowed by secrets and haunted by spirits. She wrestles with "The Truth About Life After Death," after seeing her father’s ghost sitting beside his casket. A gifted artist, Parrish longs to escape small town life and go off to college, but there’s no money. She fears her mother will lapse into madness if she goes, and she keeps getting distracted by the wrong kind of man. When Civil Rights workers arrive in Mississippi, Parrish takes a risk that carries her onto the razor's edge between living and dying, learns the truth about the soul's survival...and finds an unexpected romance. Lush, vivid, and wildly entertaining, Where the Lake Becomes the River brings to life an unforgettable extended Southern family, along with its dreams, disappointments—and even its beloved ghosts. Where the Lake Becomes the River won the Novello Literary Award, underwritten by Charles and Katherine Frazier's Cold Mountain Foundation. It was nominated for the Sir Walter Raleigh Literary Prize, named a finalist for Foreword Magazine's Book of the Year Awards, and Included in Publishers Weekly Fall Fiction Preview. Kate Betterton's work has been described as quirky, profound, hilarious, heartbreaking, socially relevant, spiritual, metaphysical, romantic, and uplifting...with "unforgettable characters, gorgeous prose, and irresistible storytelling"..."a treasure for lovers of psychological fiction."
