All that is Hidden

Are secrets worth the price they cost to keep? Ten-year-old Tina Hamilton always knew her father had a secret. But all of God’s earth to Tina are the streams for fishing, the fields for romping, a world snugly enclosed by the blue-misted Smokies. Nothing ever changed. Until the summer of 1968. Trouble erupts when northern exploitation threatens her southern Appalachian town. Some folks blame the trouble on progress, some blame the space race and men meddling with the moon’s cycles, and some blame Tina’s father. A past he has hidden catches up to him. The clash of progressive ideas and small town values escalates the collision of a father’s past and present.
