Joining her there with even more outrage and dismay is the sister-in-law she loathes, Lucenia, who is full of opniions about every woman’s issue of the day – social justice for the oppressed, equal rights, birth control, the morality of female sexual pleasure- and not one domestic skill. To protect their children safely and battle the mountain enemies they have in common, the women strike a truce, but a new controversy in America lands on their doorstep: the annihilation of the nation’s forests. The brothers pick up their pace in scraping their fortune off the pristine hillsides just as John begins to unravel, putting the families’ futures in jeopardy.
