Bad Ground

Author of Sutter¿s Cross, a Booklist Top Pick, W. Dale Cramer evokes the ambiance of a small Southern town in this inspiring novel. Jeremy¿s mother has passed away, leaving him with an odd request. He is to find his Uncle Aiden, a hardrock miner, and stay with him, regardless of Aiden¿s wishes. Jeremy¿s faith in God gives him the courage to find the humanity behind this tough-as-steel man.

¿¿ Cramer has a delicious way with a pen, whether he¿s crafting a lush Southern backdrop or offering glimpses of [his characters¿] interior lives.¿¿Publishers Weekly, starred review
