“Literature is a luxury; fiction is a necessity.”
Seven Hills: a novel
There’s something fascinating about a town that is no longer there. Some towns disappear slowly. Others almost overnight. Even so, long after the stores close and weeds take root in the sidewalks, their stories remain.
In 1984, oceanographer Grace Walker Hughes discovers an old mining map tucked inside a notebook from her childhood. The paper is yellowed and creased, marked with a series of red circles and a cryptic notation: B6. The map leads her back to Jasper, Oklahoma. For Grace, however, Jasper is more than a dying town.
It is home.And the map carries her back thirty years—to the summer of 1954, when she climbed the towering Seven Hills with two boys who would shape the rest of her life.
