In Scott Archer Jones’ novel, And Throw Away the Skins, we meet Rebecca in 2009 as she is packing her home into a rented trailer, readying to move to an abandoned family cabin in rural New Mexico. She and her husband, William, are unhappy with their circumstances and marriage. He recently left his job as a chaplain at a Dallas mega-church, and she, the chaplain’s wife, is recovering from breast cancer and a double mastectomy. Unable to relate to her changed body, William has relocated to Afghanistan to advise and counsel service members, and the bank now owns their house due to reduced financial circumstances. Rebecca, who communicates with William on Skype in the local cafe, finds a role in her new small town as a friend, helper, and advisor to a medley of characters, all facing unique problems and challenges. Flashbacks to scenes from Rebecca’s childhood offer insight as she navigates the new territory of New Mexico’s small-town life and rises to take on a project of a lifetime.
