Hill of Dead Horses by Sarah Birdsall
Sarah talked to Mike Chmielewski about the Curry area and how she blends true history with her imagination to create this story.
In 1974, young Californians Thomas Findlay and Emily Wells dug post holes for a cabin on that very hill and unearthed a human bone. The discovery shatters their struggle for stability and their attempt to start their lives over, propelling the couple toward their own tragedy as their story intertwines with one that unfolded in 1927, where the hill they hope to build on was the site of love, loss, and deadly violence.
