BOOK DESCRIPTION FROM BACK COVER:
With The Mammoth Cheese, Holman delivers a sharp,
contemporary story steeped in history that will captivate a new audience
while gratifying readers of her acclaimed earlier work, The Dress Lodger.
Beautifully crafted and driven by warm, vibrant characters, The Mammoth
Cheese follows the residents of rural Three Chimneys, Virginia, on their
historic journey to re-create the making of the original Thomas
Jefferson-era, 1,235-pound "Mammoth Cheese." As the book opens, the town is
joyously celebrating the birth of the Frank Eleven (eleven babies
simultaneously born to Manda and James Frank after fertility treatments) and
enjoying the thrill of notoriety as reform-minded presidential hopeful Adams
Brooke visits the newborns. But as autumn progresses and the babies start to
die, the community seeks to redeem itself through the making and
transporting of a symbolic Mammoth Cheese to Washington, as a gift for the
newly elected President Brooke. Sheri Holman seamlessly weaves together the
lives of Three Chimneys, delving into her characters' inescapable family
histories as they grapple with religion, divorce, politics, and unrequited
love. The Mammoth Cheese is a triumphant exploration of the burdens and joys
of rural America and the debts we owe to history, our parents, and
ourselves.
