Title: Compelling Gem of a Book---Must have for Central Virginians
Review: This well-crafted account of life along the banks of this gem of a lake deserves a wider audience. Mr. Washington weaves a tale every bit as compelling as any novel. His depiction of real people and real events engage the reader instantly. The startling final chapter about the flood that, for a short time, spelled the end of Timberlake, proves riveting. If you like small, detailed histories of places, you need a copy of this hardback book on your bookshelf. It's a perfect weekend read.
