ISBN: 0061671851 ISBN-13: 9780061671852 Publisher: Harper Perennial OUR PRICE: $13.49 Product Type: Paperback - Other Formats Published: February 2009 Annotation: The Vermont hill country is the stark, vivid setting for this gripping and entertaining story of bold determination. The local villain, Blackway, is making life hellish for Lillian, a young woman from parts elsewhere. Her boyfriend has fled the state in fear, and local law enforcement can do nothing to protect her. She resolves, however, to stand her ground, and to fight back. A pair of unlikely allies - Lester, a crafty old-timer, and Nate, a powerful but naive youth - join her cause, understanding that there is no point in taking up the challenge unless you're willing to "go through." In this modern-day drama, a kind of Greek chorus - wry, witty, digressive; obsessively, amusingly reminiscent; skeptical, opinionated, and not always entirely sober - enriches the telling of this unforgettable tale as the reader follows the threesome's progress on their dangerous, suspenseful quest. |

| Publisher Description: A young woman recently relocated to a tiny Vermont logging town, Lillian is menaced by a mysterious stalker named Blackway. This one man--who kills her cat, forces her boyfriend to flee the state in terror, and silently threatens her very existence--is a force little understood by the local figures to whom she turns for help. Yet, in this spare and powerful tale, Lillian enlists the powerful brute Nate and the curmudgeonly Lester to take the fight to her tormenter as a raggedy quartet of town elders ponders her likely fate. With simple strength and extraordinary force, Go with Me is a riveting modern fable of good provoked to resist evil. |
