In Whippoorwill Sing, college-dropout Atlas faces the daunting task of saving the family home in Willow Creek, a rundown Appalachian town. There, she finds work in a museum housed in a former sanatorium. Atlas's life becomes evermore complicated when she must face the ghosts hiding in the family tree in order to ensure that it has a future. Just as so often in our own lives, Lute's masterfully written second novel, Whippoorwill Sing, leaves us chasing the promise of forthcoming destiny, all while hoping that we're informed by the truth of the past.
