In 1916, Idella and Avis Hillock  live on the edge of a chilly bluff in New Brunswick-a barren world of  potato farms and lobster traps, rough men, hard work, and baffling  beauty. From \"Gone,\" the heartbreaking account of the crisis that  changed their lives forever, through \"Wake,\" a darkly comic saga of  funeral plans gone awry, \u003ci\u003eThe Sisters from Hardscrabble Bay\u003c\/i\u003e  beautifully charts the trajectory of the Hillocks' divergent lives  against the background of a lost slice of Americana.\u003c\/p\u003e\n                        \u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n                        \u003cp\u003eBeverly Jensen earned an MFA in drama from Southern Methodist University.
