Publisher Comments:

In  1959, the Brown siblings were the biggest thing in country music. Their inimitable harmony  would give rise to the polished sound of the multibillion dollar country-music industry we know today. But when the bonds of family began to fray, the flame of their celebrity proved as brilliant as it was fleeting. Masterfully jumping between the Browns' once-auspicious past and the heartbreaking present, Nashville Chrome is the richly imagined story of a forgotten family and an unflinching portrait of an era in American music. In his "breath-catching, mythic and profoundly American tale of creation, destruction and renewal" (Kansas City Star), Rick Bass mines quiet truths and draws poignant portraits of lives lived both in and out of the limelight.

Award-winning and New York Timesbestselling novelist Ron Rash conjures a gothic tale of greed, corruption, and revenge with a ruthless, powerful, and unforgettable woman at its heart, set amid the wilds of 1930s North Carolina and against the backdrop of America's burgeoning environmental movement.

Serena is an unforgettable character, a strong, ruthless, beautiful woman. Lady Macbeth in the woods of 1930s North Carolina. This book stayed with me a long, long time.

Ron Rash has a way of making characters come to life. Environmental issues such as the tim er industry are woven with a story of love, ambition and courage.
