About the book:
From the author of Whispers in the Pines: The Secrets of Colliers Mills, comes an exciting new non-fiction book that's sure to please! In the spirit of John McPhee’s The Pine Barrens, author Karen F. Riley roamed the woods, rural communities, and farms of the Pinelands in search of compelling stories. From true life tales of murder and mayhem to inspiring accounts of triumph over adversity and “Pineys” fighting to protect their way of life, Voices in the Pines brings the storytelling legacy of the Pine Barrens into the 21st century.
Combining an uncanny ear with a knack for getting perfect strangers to talk freely, Riley takes readers on an engrossing human journey into the heart of the Pines. You’ll meet artisans, activists, farmers, educators, local heroes, and regular folks in this collection of true stories, told in the words of those who lived them.
