(More customer reviews)Those who are lucky to know Dot Jackson's writing as a journalist and columnist have long awaited this, her first novel, and she does not disappoint. Luminously written, evocative, and filled with a deep love for her Appalachian roots, Refuge is a new American masterpiece. You will be homesick for the Carolina Hills even if you have never been there.
