The land around Gour Borough, Pennsylvania, seeps and oozes with the poisonous cast-offs from generations of industrial mining. The town—long abandoned by the companies which have taken everything—lurches, settles, and crumbles toward oblivion. Over the course of a fateful morning, twelve women will find their lives inexplicably entwined, as their actions, reactions, and inactions tick toward an ultimate end. These women—taxidermist, shepherdess, and huntress; mother, wife, and sister; innocent, orphan, and dreamer; hostage, murderer, and seer—have one final chance to address all the pain and hurt and unfulfilled desires in their lives. It won't be enough . . . Jessica Hagy is an artist and writer whose work has been translated into more than a dozen languages and has been featured in Wired, The New York Times, Harvard Business Review , and Forbes . One Morning explores the intersection of the natural and unnatural, the uncanny and the weird. It asks what it means to be both human and haunted in a land we have irrevocably changed.
