America - it is a song of joy, a song of sorrow, a land of liberty and oppression. And at its heart is and has always been New England. Sing Of The High Country is the first novel-in-stories yet published to challenge New Englanders to accept their role in the darkest sins of America's past. A multigenerational saga of the Kingston family, New England's premier tobacco barons, this eclectic narrative weaves through history to uncover how Yankees, not Southerners, pioneered some of the first slave plantations and Indian reservations, tobacco farms and disenfranchising laws, that came to shape the American landscape. Sing Of The High Country is not simply an indictment of the past, but a call to healing through understanding, and ultimately, a book that challenges the reader to take a look at the heart of America and, in the words of one character, "Sing of its sin; sing of its splendor. Sing of its grievances; sing of its glory. Just sing."
