OUR DAILY BREAD

“Backwoods Noir” at its best. For generations the Erskine clan has lived in poverty and isolation on North Mountain, shunned by the God-fearing people of nearby Gideon. Now, Albert Erskine comes down off the mountain hoping to change the future for his brothers and sisters and sets in motion a chain of events that will change everything. Inspired by a true story. From best-selling novelist Lauren B. Davis comes the deeply compassionate story of what happens when we view our neighbors as “The Other,” as well as the transcendent power of unlikely friendships.

” Powerful, harrowing, and deeply unsettling. It keeps you reading as your blood pressure mounts…proceeds like a noose gradually tightening…stark, beautiful, sad and frankly terrifying…finely crafted, with careful attention to characterization, style, and pacing. It succeeds on every level.”
–(Starred Review) The Quill & Quire
