Salem Lake has run low before. Not like this. As the water falls through a third dry summer it gives back the valley the power company flooded in the 1960s — a roadbed, foundations, a church still standing in the mud — and the people who were moved out of it start coming home.

Some of them have been dead sixty years. They are not confused about whose house it was.

A standalone novel about a reservoir, a company town, and a drawdown that goes on too long.
