 A Land More Kind Than Home
by Wiley Cash
Hardcover, $24.99 » | Ebook, $11.99 »
I was caught up in this book from the opening pages. Cash's voice, heard through his three narrators, is extraordinary and pitch-perfect; he is a natural storyteller. This is a tragic tale of religious faith used for evil rather than good, but it's also a story of family connections gone awry. Past losses reconfigure the present; an innocent observance becomes the catalyst for ritual sacrifice. —Gayle
