About the Book

From acclaimed author J. Kasper Kramer comes a poignant coming-of-age middle grade story that captures the wild beauty of 1970s Appalachia and the tender, fragile ties that bind us to family, faith, and magic.

Delilah knows a rattlesnake when she hears one.

After all, she was born and raised in Blackberry Holler, so when she hears that telltale rattle, she doesn't panic. She knows her pet racoon, Freddy, will come catch the snake for his breakfast. But Freddy doesn't come, and disaster almost strikes--until Delilah is rescued by a traveling preacher. Turns out, Brother Jones is setting up a revival church on their rural Appalachian mountain.

At first this seems like a godsend to Delilah. Her older sister, Eve, used to be her best friend, but now Eve is acting all grown up. Church might bring them back together. Their wild little sister, Jezzie, sure could use some religion too. But when the churchgoers start to speak strange words and handle venomous snakes, Delilah isn't so certain--especially after Brother Jones condemns her hill magic as witchcraft. Worse yet, an old, frightening folktale seems to be coming true. Now worried for herself and her sisters, Delilah must figure out what she believes--and fast.
