A strikingly sincere portrait of a town and its buried secrets from an outstanding new voice in southern fiction.

In a North Carolina mountain town filled with moonshine and rotten husbands, Sadie Blue is only the latest girl to face a dead-end future at the mercy of a dangerous drunk. She's been married to Roy Tupkin for 15 days, and she knows now that she should have listened to the folks who said he was trouble. But when a stranger sweeps in and knocks the world off-kilter for everyone in town, Sadie begins to think there might be more to life than being Roy's wife.

As stark and magnificent as Appalachia itself, If the Creek Don't Rise is a bold and beautifully layered debut about a dusty, desperate town finding the inner strength it needs to outrun its demons. The folks of Baines Creek will take you deep into the mountains with heart, honesty, and homegrown grit.

I found this book to have interesting character studies presented in an unusual way, but the overall structure of the story seemed to be lacking. In the end the reader finds what happened to Sadie and Roy but all the other characters that were presented in such depth fade to black.

Although a novel, the book was presented in historical context that did not sit right. As a resident of an Appalachian county of SW Virginia in the 70’s, I thought a lot was exaggerated and overblown and more indicative of the 50’s and 60’s especially since the last one room schoolhouse in the US was terminated in 1967. The author’s descriptions lead one to believe that extreme poverty and deprivation only lead to violence and aberrant behavior and totally leave out the kindness and giving nature that so many Appalachian communities are known for today.

Weiss has some talent as a writer and I look forward to more practiced future publications.

The performance of the narrators emphasized Leah Weiss' structures for the tale. introducing characters giving them small climactic events before they become background characters. Often a voice would appear after figure had be described by others, adding nuances of character development, even if it only made them more despicable.

Great listen

Multiple first person stories build the narrative.

I enjoyed this listen. Well written, well narrated, and very well done character development. An excellent depiction of life in 1970’s Appalachia where the people lived in heartbreaking abject poverty and ignorance. A definite worth while listen!!

Very Good!!

This was magnificent storytelling! The readers performed amazingly well. This was an experience more than a book.

Magnificent story performed extremely well

This was a first person narrative by multiple characters (at least 8) that didn't follow much of an overall story line, but instead gave a telling of life in the backwoods of the Appalachian mountains. It was quite dreary most of the way through but had interesting characters that kept me going.

Multiple character narrative.
