In 1916, Sisters Idella and Avis Hillock live on the edge of a chilly bluff in New Brunswick, Canada, a hardscrabble world of potato farms, rough men, hard work, and baffling beauty. From âGoneâ, the heartbreaking account of the crisis that changed their lives forever, to the darkly comic âWakeâ, which follows the grown siblingsâ catastrophic efforts to escort the body of their father âWild Billâ Hillock to his funeral, these stories of Idella and Avis offer a compelling and wry vision of two remarkable women.

The vivid characters include Idellaâs philandering husband, her bewilderingly difficult mother-in-law, and Avis, whose serial romantic disasters never quell her irrepressible spirit. Jensenâs work evokes a time gone by and reads like an instant American classic.

âProfane, loving, hardnosed, and completely beautiful. If you ever loved The Memory Keeper's Daughter or The Secret Life of Bees, you have been waiting for this book and just didn't know it.â (Stephen King)
âAn original voice, sharp witted and big hearted, as if a rambunctious and deeply troubled family out of William Faulknerâs Mississippi had been tempered instead by the snowy reaches of the North.â ( Poets & Writers)
