Description: Lick Creek is the compelling story of a fiery young woman, Emily Jenkins, and what happens when progress -- and tragedy -- comes to her family's West Virginia farm. Kessler has a generous and keen eye for natural landscape and its power in human life. In his profound, dramatic, first novel, he explores the complex intersections of faith, tradition, and innovation.

After the coal mine deaths of her father, brother, and the first man she loved, Emily struggles to support herself and her mother. When construction begins on the power lines, she blames the intruders for everything that has gone awry -- for her mother's increasing withdrawal from life, and for the lives already lost. But when an electrical worker is struck by lightning, and her mother takes him in, Emily is seduced by the mystery of his past -- his immigration from Russia, his own mother's deportations, and the world of Jewish immigrants forced to flee persecution in their homelands.

Moving from romance to high drama, Kessler illuminates the role of electricity in the transformation of rural life and the particular electricity between two vastly different people whose worlds and passions collide.
