SYNOPSIS

Tuesday and Annabelle live in the same state but in two different worlds. Tuesday, educated and independent, lives in the city; Annabelle knows only the harsh life of the mountain cabin, where she lives with her husband and two other women he has taken as wives.

Tuesday never knew that life could change so drastically in such a short time. When her car breaks down in sub-zero weather, she is faced with the choice between freezing or accepting help from a stranger. She chooses to trust the stranger named Jacob. Attracted to his good looks and quiet ways, Tuesday agrees when he asks to see her again. She tries to get to know Jacob and is both intrigued and put off by his secretiveness. Her friend, Cora, is uneasy about Jacob and asks Tuesday to be careful. Meanwhile, Cora continues an ongoing search for her daughter, who was kidnapped two years earlier. As this facinating story unfolds, the lives of Tuesday and Annabelle become shockingly entwined, and the horrific activities of a baby-selling ring are exposed.

Set in the beautiful but treacherous mountains of West Virginia, THE CABIN reveals the best and the worst of human nature.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

C.J. Henderson was born on Christmas Day. Her father, a coal miner, was a storyteller who kept his listeners spellbound. Raised on stories about C.C. Camp, Ponds Murder Farm, and other fearsome tales that came straight from her father's mind C.J. began telling her friends stories of her own, oftentimes getting into trouble for frightening the other children.

After high school C.J. married and became the mother of two sons. During the marriage she attended college, and at her father's urging, studied real estate and became an agent. The knowledge gained from her real estate career led to a position with a utility company in which she leased property. That work took her into the remote mountainous areas of West Virginia, where she met many colorful characters. Often C.J. had to wait in her car for property owners to show up for appointments. As she waited, appointment by appointment, the novel came alive on her legal pad.

C.J. is now a real estate broker operating her own company and working on more novels.

1.0 out of 5 stars Sensationalism and Stereotypes Sep 19 2003
By A Customer
Format:Paperback
When I first heard about the book, I was anxious to read it.
Not only am I am a West Virginian, but I am also an Appalachian
historian and avid reader of historical fiction. I met the author and bought her book. I couldn't wait to get home and begin reading.
The book made me ill and angry. The author used nearly all of the stereotypical images of Appalachians in writing this novel.
Evidently she used this tactic to create a sensationalistic piece of literature, and I use the term loosely, to sell books. Not only is this a disservice to the people of the region, but it is also a disservice to her readers. The story is barely believable.
In spite of this, she has probably succeeded, because the American public loves sensationalism, not to mention making fun of hillbillies.
There are so many wonderful writers who place their stories in Appalachia. Their characters reflect the true spirit of its people, who are, and always have been, like most Americans, especially those in rural areas and of the working class.

1.0 out of 5 stars Who edited this? Jan 12 2003
By Suzanne
Format:Paperback
The subject matter of this book is appalling, but it was so poorly written I kept reading it to see if it would get better. It didn't. It sometimes seemed as if the author sat at her keyboard each day and just started out without checking whether she had written this part already or not. In a way, it is inspiring--if she can make a living writing this stuff, I can too, though I don't want to turn my own stomach.
Yuk.
