Set in rural America and spanning much of the 20th century, Lila & Theron captures the spirit of the American rural experience, as it relates to their personal stories of love and sacrifice. From the foreward, "Lila and Theron do not imagine themselves poor, nor do they covet what they don't have. They are whole in themselves and on their land and progress impinges little on their lives."

Set in rural America and spanning much of the 20th century, Lila & Theron captures the spirit of the American rural experience, as it relates to their personal stories of love and sacrifice. From the foreward, "Lila and Theron do not imagine themselves poor, nor do they covet what they don't have. They are whole in themselves and on their land and progress impinges little on their lives." Award winning author and public radio commentator, Bill Schubart, first introduced us to Lila & Theron characters in his 2008 short story collection, The Lamoille Stories. After being influenced by William Faulkner's acceptance speech on winning the Nobel Prize, he returns seven years later to finish their stories. " I believe that man will not merely endure: he will prevail. He is immortal, not because he alone among creatures has an inexhaustible voice, but because he has a soul, a spirit capable of compassion and sacrifice and endurance. The poet's, the writer's, duty is to write about these things. It is his privilege to help man endure by lifting his heart, by reminding him of the courage and honor and hope and pride and compassion and pity and sacrifice which have been the glory of his past." Lila and Theron plumbs the depth and triumphs of the human spirit in a way now lost in today's obsessions with consumerism and celebrity culture, immersing us in a receding world where neighbors and nature are the gifts and love is often comes with great hardship. From the book: Thelma dies at nineteen giving birth to a son, Theron. When the son first meets his father, he learns his mother's death is his fault and can only muster the question, "How did she die?" Looking away, the father mutters, "She died givin' birth ta you. An' I lost all her help and comforts."
