This is a story about Northerners who have moved to the South and the Southerners who must live with them. Set in the mid-1980, Our Kinfolks portrays two families living next to each other in a small mountain cove called Corn Still. Although the adults clash over their beliefs, their 14-year-old sons soon become good friends. This novel portrays the boys’ relationship, their adventures, and tribulations in growing up. There are, of course, complications: the Northern family stirs things up with the local political structure, a danger follows the family from the North, and the health of one of the boys deteriorates. All of the problems get resolved in a heart-warming, unexpected and suspenseful ending. The novel, full of diverse characters and situations, gives a rich, believable, and humorous portrayal of small towns and country living.
