Higher Ground

(my forthcoming novel)

Higher Ground is part 1 of a literary fiction set in the pressurized world of family farming and holiness Christianity of the American Midwest. This initial story is a coming of age account of two young people making sense of love, faith, and rural life. Here is a sample of what my first readers are saying…

“The love story that unfolds in complicated and beautiful ways is as much between the two main characters as it is between them and their God.” 

“Sometimes the harvest you reap is the life you didn't plan.”

“A wonderful novel whose characters have stuck with me.”

“The seasons turn. Life follows death in the earth and in our lives on the earth. Americana at its best.”

“Sometimes higher ground isn't reached by climbing—but by noticing where you already stand.”
