Résumé
When the mountains of Eastern Kentucky begin to die, they take everyone with them. Betty Sizemore is picking tomatoes in her Hazard garden when she feels the first tremor. Just a whisper in the soil, gentle as a cat's purr. By nightfall, she's laughing with her daughter Patricia about the dogs howling at the ground. They make plans for Saturday-canning tomatoes like they have for forty years, and Patricia's boy Tyler, will show Mamaw his new bike trick.
Saturday never comes. At 2:30 PM on an ordinary Tuesday in October, the Appalachian Mountains reveal a terrible secret: they've been hollow all along. Layer by layer, the ancient rock begins to separate and collapse into voids that have been growing for millions of years. In minutes, entire towns drop hundreds of feet into the earth. Jenkins. Hazard. Pikeville. Two hundred miles of mountains falling into themselves.
As the ground fails catastrophically across Eastern Kentucky, fifth-grade teacher Emma Hollowell pulls her students close in the darkness. Thousands of voices cry out from beneath collapsed mountains for six days before the silence comes. In London, where the mountains meet safer ground, Betty's cousin June lights candles and listens to those desperate voices carry fifty miles on the night air. Based on real geological phenomena, Saturday Never Came is an unflinching portrait of catastrophic loss-not just of lives, but of the very ground we trust to hold us.
It's about what happens to the survivors when an entire culture built in the shelter of ancient mountains disappears in an afternoon. About learning to live when you know that mountains can die. And if mountains can die, what is permanent? What is promised?The ground is just ground, until it isn't. A haunting work of Appalachian horror that will forever change how you feel about the earth beneath your feet.
