Cora Mae Tipton knows every inch of Shadow Mountain. In the shade of the towering trees, amidst the thickets, streams, and smokehouses, the rhythm of life around her beloved holler hasn't much changed for generations, until now. For the first time, electrical power is coming to the rural communities of eastern Kentucky. Cora is determined to rally her community in support of electrification. But if she has any hope of succeeding, it's going to mean convincing the one person determined to stand in her way and opening her own heart to the truth that there are, indeed, two sides to every story.
