Author: Donald R. Marshall
What happens to a reclusive librarian when she is left by herself in Spain during Holy Week? How does a young professor cope with an elderly woman who is failing his music appreciation class, not because she doesn't love music but· because she can't remember names and titles? Frost in the Orchard masterfully evokes the problems facing people in familiar yet not so ordinary circumstances.
There is the premonition of danger when Glade returns to Panguitch, Utah, to, recall the scenes of his boyhood. There is the pitiable college graduate who becomes a dubious winner with young women when he develops the courage to sing hymns to them. And there is the crazy Griffin family reunion combined with Thurza's ninetieth birthday· celebration.
Beginning with "Christmas. Snows, Christmas Winds," which was made into an award-winning television special, Frost in the Orchard moves subtly through the seasons, ending in the chilly late November air of "The Wheel-barrow.” The book also shows how childhood and adulthood interact and the way an area influences its people.
Donald R. Marshall, author of The Rummage Sale and Zinnie Stokes Zinnie Stokes, has written a collection of short stories that show both the drama in individual lives and the common ties that bind those lives with all of life.
