Annotation

In this arresting debut novel, Carolyn Wall chronicles the hard life of Olivia Harker Cross, who runs a ramshackle corner store in Depression-era Kentucky. Olivia's mother is in an insane asylum and her father is in the frozen ground behind the store. Olivia's grown daughter, Pauline, who was born after a classmate's sympathy over her father's death went too far, ran off years ago, leaving Olivia to raise her own son Will'm. Despite these hardships, Olivia and Will'm have eked out some semblance of a glad existence until the harsh winter of 1938, when a mysterious band of hunters start killing the wolves who roam through Olivia's land. She is determined to put a stop to this, but that means risking Will'm's safety and exposing a history of secrets she had hoped to bury forever.

1938: Olivia and the boy, Willam, run Harkeras Grocery and live in the cold-water kitchen behind the store. Money is scarce; business is bad. Out back, Pap is buried near the outhouse, and Oliviaas crazy mother Ida is living in a tarpaper shack.
For 30 years, Olivia has loved Wing Harris, who plays a mean trumpet and owns the Kentuckian Hotel. For decades, theyave shared only howdies at Ruseas CafA(c).
This may be the coldest winter on record in Kentucky, but that doesnat keep the elusive Hunt Club from tracking silver-faced wolves on Oliviaas strip of mountain. It falls to her and Willam to figure out why as the hunters turn their sights on them, too.
Then, one frozen night, Willamas mother comes back for him. The some terrible secrets explode among the Rowe Street community. Now thereas blood on Oliviaas hands, and nothing is as she thought it was.
Olivia is responsible for the very people who betrayed her. While she searches for answers that might save them all, then the day comes when Olivia must shatter the shackles that bind her and her community.
Like nothing you have ever read, Sweeping Up Glass is Carolyn D. Wallas searing and surprising debut novel.
