Book Review: Watershed by Mark Barr

Watershed
by Mark Barr

A dam is being built in 1937 rural Tennesse to bring electricity to the community. The huge effort for that greater good is described while also describing Nathan’s and Claire’s hopes of being able to move forward in their private lives. A boarding house is the melting pot for job-hungry people striving to make ends meet shortly after the Depression.
