Sinopsis

Joey Madden, the eleven-year-old narrator of Ruin Creek, is Joe now, a twenty-eight-year-old, Duke-trained anthropologist back on the Outer Banks doing ethnographic fieldwork in Little Roanoke, a traditional fishing community under stress from modernization.áAttending services at Little RoanokeâÇÖs evangelical church, Joe secures a berth aboard a commercial trawl boat called the FatherâÇÖs Price.áBetween trips to sea, Joe crosses paths with Day Shaughnessey, MD, an OB/GYN whose provision of birth and abortion services to local island women has put her in the crosshairs of the conservative community Joe has come to study.áIn the same family summer house where Joe once lived the painful end of his parentsâÇÖ marriage, his relationship with Day now begins. áAs they converge romantically, however, Joe and Day increasingly diverge on politics. If those who canâÇÖt remember the past are condemned to repeat it, itâÇÖs Joe and DayâÇÖs fate-and JoeâÇÖs, in particular-- to learn that those who canâÇÖt forget the past are oftentimes condemned to repeat it, too.
