Synopsis
Set in 1915, this novel tells the story of young Mary Catherine, a survivor of a series of abusive foster families, who comes to a California farm to teach a mute 9-year-old named Abel. She falls in love with Abel's alienated cousin, the one-armed Henny, and changes not only his life but several others as she herself grows into maturity.

Industry Reviews
"LEAPING MAN HILL is a satisfying novel, with complexities not susceptible to easy summary, as well as those quirky characters and some playful language. Finally, though, it is dominated by Emshwiller's sure development of Mary Catherine. Readers who grow with that young woman may remember this book a long time."
