A story by a person who loves Illinois. Twin Beeches relives the recent past in rural America with a strong story about a girl growing up in a farming town with a mysterious disappearance in its past. Martha Jo Gonsalves, the daughter of a pipeline worker husband and local business woman wife, finds challenges wherever she looks and sees how local people respond to and overcome them. Tragedy is a constant companion in Woodland, and having the grit to continue and to prosper is the measure of the people there.

Eddie, oldest son of a moonshiner, and Buddy, heir to the biggest and best farm in the area, find themselves sharing a cell in the country jail, both sent there by the crooked judge who grew up hunting and fishing with Eddie's father. A hoard of money provides Eddie with the ability to break away from the moonshiner's life if he is willing to take the chances he must to gain it.

And, always in the background, the idea that the town's leading citizen in 1950 who disappeared might just be found someday and the mystery solved.
