Résumé
A comet crossed the sky one Christmas Eve, and the boy who watched it was never a boy in the old way again. Friedrich Stone was ten when his mother died and the ocean came up between him and everything he had ever known. His father, a Navy man with a ship to run, sent him from a gray airport gate in Germany to the only family he had left - an old Bavarian farmer and his wife, high in the mountains of West Virginia, in a holler where the ridges come straight up out of the town and the bloodhounds cry in the laurel.
He was eleven when the Bright One crossed the sky and changed him - from the waist down - into something the old world had no name for, and the new one would have to learn to call a person. What follows is the story of a life, set down in his own plain words: the long road walked alone down Route 219 to a Tennessee farm that had never promised to take him; the gray June morning the Change came for the whole world at once; a child pulled living off a mountainside; a girl met at the Sinks; a proposal in a snowstorm at Newfound Gap; a wedding in a hayfield.
It is a story of grief and belonging - of an immigrant grandfather's hands, a dead mother's walking-song, hard faith, found family, and the long fight to be called, in a court of law and in the eyes of God, a man and not a beast. High Upon the Mountain stands complete on its own, from that airport gate in Germany to a hitching post in a Tennessee field. It is also a companion to The Abandoned - one book in the larger world of the Children of the Bright One.
They were always meant to sit on a shelf together. For readers of sweeping, heartfelt fantasy who believe the deepest magic is the kind that asks what it means to be human.
