"Folksy charm, an undercurrent of menace, and an aura of hope
permeate this ultimately inspirational tale." -Booklist From
award-winning author James Markert comes a Southern tale of fathers
and sons, young romance, revenge and redemption, and the mystery of
miracles. Now that Prohibition has ended, what the townspeople of
Twisted Tree, Kentucky, need most is the revival of the Old Sam
Bourbon distillery. But William McFee knows it'll take a miracle to
convince his father, Barley, to once more fill his family's aging
house with barrels full of bourbon. When a drifter recently buried
near the distillery begins to draw crowds of pilgrims, the McFees
are dubious. Yet miracles seem to come to those who once interacted
with the deceased and to those now praying at his grave. As people
descend on the town to visit the "Potter's Field Christ," William
seeks to find the connection between the tragic death of his
younger brother and the mysterious drifter. But as news spreads
about the miracles at the potter's field, the publicity threatens
to bring the depth of Barley's secret past to light and put the
entire McFee family in jeopardy. "Distinguished by complex ideas
and a foreboding tone, Markert's (A White Wind Blew) enthralling
novel captures a dark time and a people desperate for hope."
-Library Journal "Mysterious, gritty and a bit mystical, Markert's
entertaining new novel inspires the question of 'What if?' Many
characters are nicely multilayered, providing a good balance of
intrigue and realism. The fascinating glimpse into the process of
distilling bourbon-and the effect of the Prohibition on Kentucky
and its bourbon families-adds another layer to the story." -RT Book
