Historic Flat Rock, North Carolina, in the 1930s, with its unique blend of Appalachian and Southern, low-country cultures is the setting for mystery, seduction, and murderous moonshiners in David Hubbell’s new novel, Flat Rock Harvest, published by Chapel Hill Press. Through a series of joys and hardships our young protagonist, Doug, comes of age. A woman seduces Doug, then rejects him, leaving him heartbroken. He is introduced to the area’s rich history, and to medical practice as it was in the 1930s, and he is plunged into the still-controversial matter of abortion when a friend dies from a botched procedure.
David Hubbell brings to Flat Rock Harvest a lifetime of experience as a physician and surgeon, but writes with the command of a seasoned storyteller. Flat Rock Harvest will appeal to minds on either side of the abortion debate.
David Hubbell grew up in small-town North Carolina during the 1930s and ‘40s. He graduated from Duke Medical School, later practicing surgery in St. Petersburg, Florida, and teaching surgery at the University of South Florida College of Medicine in Tampa. From the 1960s to the present, Hubbell and his family have summered in Flat Rock. |
