In the book "Dovey Coe" by Frances O'Roark Dowell, the story is set in the fictional town of Indian Creek, North Carolina. Dovey Coe and her family live in a small house near the town center, surrounded by farmland and forests. The nearby presence of the creek and the mountains contributes to the rural and secluded atmosphere of the story.
Parnell Caraway is a cruel man who has his heart set on Dovey's pretty sister, Caroline. He hates Dovey and absolutely despises her deaf brother Amos. One day when Dovey falls unconscious, she wakes up to find him murdered. The rest of the book is Dovey's murder trial. He, therefore, is an excruciatingly important part of the book.
