THIS ROCK

The Appalachian Mountains of the 1920s provide the backdrop for the struggles between two brothers as different as night and day, and a mother determined to keep a family together. Rosemary Alexander and Robert Clotworthy weave a beautiful tale of love, disappointment, struggle, and survival. As the family's path separates and then comes together again, Clotworthy and Alexander treat listeners to homespun comfort and irresistible warmth, creating a serene and rythmic story. Listeners will find themselves able to appreciate a different culture, time, and place, and may want to snuggle up in a homemade quilt with a cup of tea as these narrators spin their tale. B.J.P.
