Publisher Description

Wayne Caldwell won extensive critical praise for his debut novel Cataloochee. Set in the same Appalachian locale, Requiem by Fire strikes chords of humor, strife and human endurance with a 1920s tale populated by vivid Southern characters. When the federal government attempts to force residents of a farming community to sell their land, lives are torn asunder by the prospect of change. "Wayne Caldwell has restored to us a lost America-and made us fall in love with its people all over again."-Jon Clinch, author of Finn

"Sometimes funny, often sad, this sequel to "Cataloochee" tells the story of the beginning of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park in North Carolina. Caldwell tells family tales intertwined with history, all of which makes this novel feel like the real thing."

    " I loved Cataloochee and like Requiem. The difference is that Requiem starts great and then just slowly fizzles out, much like the the slow demise of the people in this area. "

    " I think this book is a sequel to Catallochee but it can be read as a stand alone book (which is how I read it). It was a nice read, but I wanted more from the story. I wanted to know more about the history and the creation of the park. "
