Them That Go

Them That Go

A secret revealed, A mystery solved, A life forever changed. In 1972, seventeen-year-old Annie Caldwell, who has the â€œgiftâ€ of animal communication, wants to be normal, but sheâ€™ll settle for being unnoticed. Annieâ€™s brother died in Viet Nam, her mother is depressed, and her father drinks. Her only friend is elderly Aint Lulieâ€”who lives in the same holler and who understands the gift because she has one, too: â€œThe first daughter in everâ€™ other generation has always been blest with a gift, though some think it a curse.â€
As they sit by the fireplace in the evenings and tell each other stories, Aint Lulie shares family history with Annie, including a relativeâ€™s mysterious death and how some of their ancestors came to settle in the area: â€œThereâ€™s always been them that go and them that stay in everâ€™ generation.â€ When a local girl goes missing, Aint Lulieâ€™s and Annieâ€™s gifts can help solve the mysteryâ€”but if Annie speaks up, she can no longer go unnoticed. THEM THAT GO is an Appalachian coming-of-age novel rich in tradition, superstition, family ties, and secrets.
