  "New from award-winning Michigan
writer Bonnie Jo Campbell, American Salvage is rich with local color and peopled with rural characters who love and hate
extravagantly. They know how to fix cars and washing machines, how to shoot and clean game, and how to cook up
methamphetamine, but they have not figured out how to prosper in the twenty-first century. Through the complex inner
lives of working-class characters, Campbell illustrates the desperation of post-industrial America, where wildlife,
jobs, and whole ways of life go extinct and the people have no choice but to live off what is left behind. The harsh
Michigan winter is the backdrop for many of the tales, which are at turns sad, brutal, and oddly funny. One man prepares
for the end of the world--scheduled for midnight December 31, 1999--in a pole barn with chickens and survival manuals.
An excruciating burn causes a man to transcend his racist and sexist worldview. Another must decide what to do about his
meth-addicted wife, who is shooting up on the other side of the bathroom door. A teenaged sharpshooter must devise a
revenge that will make her feel whole again. Though her characters are vulnerable, confused, and sometimes angry, they
are also resolute. Campbell follows them as they rebuild their lives, continue to hope and dream, and love in the face
of loneliness."--Publisher's website.
  
  
  
  With all the fixings of a Johnny Cash
song—love, loss, redemption—Campbell captures these Michiganders and their earthy, brutal paradise in
tales rich with insight and well worth the trip. (Natasha Clark - Elle )
  
  This is a splendid story of
survival in extremis, with a searingly original heroine. (_Parade_ )
  
  ...the book is a violent but
inspiring tale packed with colorful river dwellers, a working-class community of power company and metal workers,
farmers, hunters and housewives....Campbell has created a character with an iron gut and a heart to match, recalling
powerful heroines like Clara of Joyce Carol Oates' A Garden of Earthly Delights and Ree of Daniel Woodrell's Winter's
Bone. (Liz Colville - NPR.org )
  
  Starred Review. A dramatic and rhapsodic American odyssey. A female
Huckleberry Finn. A wild-child-to-caring-woman story as intricately meshed with the natural life of the river as a myth.
...she conveys all that Margo does, thinks, and feels with transfixing sensuous precision, from the jolt of a gun to the
muscle burn of rowing a boat against the current to the weight of a man. From killing and skinning game to falling in
with outlaws and finding refuge with kind if irascible strangers, Margo’s earthy education and the profound
complexities of her timeless dilemmas are exquisitely rendered and mesmerizingly suspenseful. A glorious novel destined
to entrance and provoke. (_Booklist_ )
  
  Mark Twain owns America's rivers, and writers who venture out on
those waters are obliged to acknowledge his dominion. Bonnie Jo Campbell's tough and confident Once Upon a River, about
a runaway teenager on Michigan's waterways, pays due homage to the bard of the Mississippi, but the novel also tells its
own captivating story (Sam Sacks - Wall Street Journal )
  
  Campbell is a bard, 
a full-throated
singer whose melodies are odes to farms and water and livestock and fishing rods and rifles, and to hardworking folks
who know the value of life as well as the randomness of life's troubles. (Lisa Schwarzbaum - Entertainment Weekly )
  
  It is, rather, an excellent American parable about the consequences of our favorite ideal, freedom. (_New
York Times Book Review_ )
  
  American fiction waited a long time for Bonnie Jo Campbell to come along. A lot
of us, not only women, were looking for a fictional heroine who would be deeply good, brave as a wolverine, never a cry
baby, as able as Sacagawea, with a strong and unapologetic sexuality. We wanted to feel her roots in some ancient story,
we wanted Diana the huntress, but not her virginity; we wanted a real human girl who we could believe had been suckled
by bears, or wolves. To give us heroines like this, the god finally brought us Bonnie Jo Campbell, one of our most
important and necessary writers, and Margo Crane, the central character of Once Upon A River, an outcast, feral beauty
who can shoot like Annie Oakley, is her most poignant and mythic creation so far. (Jaimy Gordon, National Book Award
winner).
  
  Plot:
  
  From the National Book Award and National Book Critics Circle Award
finalist—an odyssey of a novel about a girl's search for love and identity.
  
  Bonnie Jo Campbell has
created an unforgettable heroine in sixteen-year-old Margo Crane, a beauty whose unflinching gaze and uncanny ability
with a rifle have not made her life any easier. After the violent death of her father, in which she is complicit, Margo
takes to the Stark River in her boat, with only a few supplies and a biography of Annie Oakley, in search of her
vanished mother. But the river, Margo's childhood paradise, is a dangerous place for a young woman traveling alone, and
she must be strong to survive, using her knowledge of the natural world and her ability to look unsparingly into the
hearts of those around her. Her river odyssey through rural Michigan becomes a defining journey, one that leads her
beyond self-preservation and to the decision of what price she is willing to pay for her choices.
