Fiction. "RED MOUNTAIN is a huge accomplishment. It perfectly captures a lost time, the early 1960s in Birmingham and on New York's lower east side. A gifted couple's struggle to nurture love and sanity, their personal story framed by racial violence and family bigotry, is portrayed with the authenticity of memoir, yet shaped through suspenseful, inventive fiction. I loved this novel."—Luke Wallin
