The Regrets of Cyrus Dodd
The Regrets of Cyrus Dodd
Synopsis
Cyrus Dodd and his neighbour Virgil Jackson were never friends, and when a dispute over a river turns into a feud, neither man will yield an inch. The damming of that river changes both their lives: one loses his farm, the other loses his family.
After years of losses, Cyrus and his wife Ruth leave the West Virginia land they love and start over in Wyattsville. Ruth settles quickly and is happier than she has been in years. Cyrus does not. In a life nothing like the one he planned, he has to face what pride cost him, with his regrets trailing behind him.
The fourth Wyattsville novel: an early-twentieth-century family saga about two iron-willed men and the price of refusing to bend.
