Acerca de esta escucha
“Just remember. We all go underwater at some point. What matters is that you come back up.”
The headwaters of the Cahaba River are neither wide nor fierce. So it’s almost unimaginable to think that the police found Billy’s friend there, lifeless below their waters.
The first 15 years of Billy’s life have been spent in commune with the Cahaba, tracing its winding path through the beautiful valleys of his small hometown, Shilo’s Beat, Alabama. But ever since Jessie’s death, the same landscape that has long comforted him now seems to be conspiring against him. What happened to Jessie? Was it the strange old man they call the Mayor? Or maybe Jessie’s dangerous adversary from up on the mountain? Everyone keeps insisting that Jessie killed himself, but Billy knows it can’t be true. If things had gotten that bad, Billy would have known, right?
Intent on finding answers and haunted by a progressive parasomnia that blurs the edges between reality and dreams, the symbolic and the supernatural, Billy leans on his eccentric Uncle John and a cast of characters as unique as the Cahaba itself to make sense of it all.
If he wants to learn the truth, Billy must grapple with the long and varied history that’s hidden deep within the red clay of this old land - the persistent, distinctively Southern legacy that followed the Scotch-Irish into the foothills of Appalachia. But the truth is messy. And Billy should tread carefully, because as well as he knows the creek, he may not be wandering alone.
The Preacher, the Fisherman, and the Cahaba is the compelling and deeply authentic young adult debut of L.R. McDonald.

Deep in the heart of Appalachia stands a crooked farmhouse miles from any road. The Morrows keep to themselves, and it's served them well so far. When girls go missing off the side of the highway, the cops don't knock on their door. Which is a good thing, seeing what's buried in the Morrows' backyard. But 19-year-old Michael Morrow isn't like the rest of his family. He doesn't take pleasure in the screams that echo through the trees.

We've all seen them - the stubborn tail-gater who follows too close, for too long...the wild driver who weaves through lanes on a crowded highway...the driver who causes accidents but is never a victim of one. These are the jackals, hunters who follow the nation's highways and byways, preying on the weak and unsuspecting. Jim Scott's been hunting jackals for some time now. They took someone he loved, once, and he's never forgiven them. And Jim doesn't fight alone.
