Book Overview
The land around Gour Borough, Pennsylvania, seeps and oozes with the poisonous cast-offs from generations of industrial mining. The town-long abandoned by the companies which have taken everything-lurches, settles, and crumbles toward oblivion. Over the course of a fateful morning, twelve women will find their lives inexplicably entwined, as their actions, reactions, and inactions tick toward an ultimate end.
These women-taxidermist, shepherdess, and huntress; mother, wife, and sister; innocent, orphan, and dreamer; hostage, murderer, and seer-have one final chance to address all the pain and hurt and unfulfilled desires in their lives.
It won't be enough . . .
Jessica Hagy is an artist and writer whose work has been translated into more than a dozen languages and has been featured in Wired, The New York Times, Harvard Business Review, and Forbes. One Morning explores the intersection of the natural and unnatural, the uncanny and the weird. It asks what it means to be both human and haunted in a land we have irrevocably changed.
