The Songcatcher
Sharyn McCrumb
Folksinger Lark McCourry is haunted by the memory of a song she heard as a
child in the North Carolina Mountains. Passed down since the mid-1700's by
her ancestor Malcolm McCourry, the song now consists of remnants of the
original verses. Lark's only hope of preserving her family legacy lies in
mountain-wise woman Nora Bonesteel, who talks to both the living and the
dead.
