Description

Heat and LightAcclaimed New York Times bestselling author Jennifer Haigh returns to the Pennsylvania town at the center of her iconic novel Baker Towers in this ambitious, achingly human story of modern America and the conflicting forces at its heart a bold, moving drama of hope and desperation, greed and power, big business and small town families. Forty years ago, Bakerton coal fueled the country. Then the mines closed, and the town wore away like a bar of soap.

Acclaimed New York Times bestselling author Jennifer Haigh returns to the Pennsylvania town at the center of her iconic novel Baker Towers in this ambitious, achingly human story of modern America and the conflicting forces at its heart--a bold, moving drama of hope and desperation, greed and power, big business and small-town families.

Forty years ago, Bakerton coal fueled the country. Then the mines closed, and the town wore away like a bar of soap. Now Bakerton has been granted a surprise third act: it sits squarely atop the Marcellus Shale, a massive deposit of natural gas.

To drill or not to drill? Prison guard Rich Devlin leases his mineral rights to finance his dream of farming. He doesn't count on the truck traffic and nonstop noise, his brother's skepticism or the paranoia of his wife, Shelby, who insists the water smells strange and is poisoning their frail daughter. Meanwhile his neighbors, organic dairy farmers Mack and Rena, hold out against the drilling--until a passionate environmental activist disrupts their lives.

Told through a cast of characters whose lives are increasingly bound by the opposing interests that underpin the national debate, Heat and Light depicts a community blessed and cursed by its natural resources. Soaring and ambitious, it zooms from drill rig to shareholders' meeting to the Three Mile Island nuclear reactor to the ruined landscape of the "strippins," haunting reminders of Pennsylvania's past energy booms. This is a dispatch from a forgotten America--a work of searing moral clarity from one of the finest writers of her generation, a courageous and necessary book.

I purchased this case for my iPad 10th Generation and I'm very happy with it. The case fits perfectly and provides excellent protection without adding too much bulk. The material feels durable, and all the buttons, camera, and charging port are easy to access. I also like that it keeps my iPad secure while still looking stylish. Overall, it's a great value for the price and I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a reliable iPad 10th Gen case.

Happy
Color: Black+Red
Very happy with purchase. I bought this to replace my son’s otterbox heavy duty case because the plastic kept breaking around it to where it dropped for the last time and shattered the screen protector and chipped the corner of the iPad. This was a fraction of the price and seems way more durable.

Good protection for your tablet.
Color: Navy+Black
Nice case although not as adjustable as my previous one it wears well and protects my iPad well. Its look does not detract from the tablet.
