Enduring by Donald Harington
Forty years ago, Donald Harington created the little town of Stay More,
hidden away in the hills of the Ozarks. He populated it with generations of
families in search of open space, green pastures, freedom from convention,
sweet air and water, or, simply, a world where time and history didn't
matter.
In Enduring, Harington continues the themes of the Stay More series
and reveals, for the first time, the mysteries of Latha Bourne, the heroine
and demigoddess of Lightning Bug, The Choiring of the Trees and other
Harington classics, who is set apart from her fellow Stay Morons, as
Harington affectionately calls them, by her beauty, wit, and intense,
unfulfilled sexuality.
