内容简介：
Weehope, Georgia sleeps in a small hollow in a place long deserted. Nothing changes but the occasional echoes of laughter and tears whispering through tall, swaying pines. An agile mouse scurries through the weathered smokehouse amid faint smells of cured hams and sausages that once dangled from the rafters. A rotting hope chest sags beneath years of dust and rat droppings. In the darkest hours of the night, an occasional hoot owl interrupts the deserted spaces. For Betty Hightower, Weehope is a mixture of home, hatred, and the last days of innocence.
