WHIPPOORWILL SING by KHRISTEENA LUTE

---

Whippoorwill Sing centers on college-dropout Atlas, as she faces the daunting task of saving the family home in a rundown Appalachian town. There, she also finds work in a museum housed in a former sanatorium. Atlas's life becomes evermore complicated when she must face the ghosts of her own family’s legacies in order to ensure that it has a future. Lute's masterfully written second novel, Whippoorwill Sing in the genre of Appalachian Gothic, shows the author's talent for capturing her own roots. And just as so often is the case in all of our lives, Atlas chases the promise of forthcoming destiny, all while hoping that she's informed by the truth of the past.

Khristeena Lute is the author of Finding Grace & Grit (2021), a novel that received high praise from literary scholars for its well-researched details focusing on real-life author Grace King (1852-1932), and Lute's reflective and tumultuous contemporary narrator and academic Meredith Mandin and her veteran husband who is searching for himself after serving in the war in Afghanistan. Lute is a writer and English professor currently residing in upstate New York, where she spends as much of her time outdoors as possible—running, hiking, and camping—or following whatever projects or topics interest her that week. Whippoorwill Sing is Lute's second novel.
