At the same time, Ada is trying to revive her father's derelict farm and learn to survive in a world where the old certain-ties have been swept away. As it interweaves their stories, CoW Mountain asserts itself as an authentic American Odyssey—hugely powerful, majestically lovely, and keenly moving. >.
