"Eisenfeld writes about Shenandoah the way Annie Proulx writes about Wyoming or Edward Abbey about the deserts of the Southwest: pristine, unsentimental, eloquent prose."  --Kirkus

"Eisenfeld's endeavor to realize the human spirit is triumphant." --Blue Lyra Review

Shenandoah: A Story of Conservation and Betrayal

In this first-person travel journey through the lost communities of the Blue Ridge Mountains, Eisenfeld tells the story of her on-the-ground discovery of the relics and memories a few thousand mountain residents left behind when the government used eminent domain to kick them off their land to create Shenandoah National Park.
