Description
In the shadow of the Great Depression, a chilling tale of good versus evil unfolds along a West Virginia riverbank. Following a father's execution, his young children become the target of a charismatic, yet sinister, preacher obsessed with a hidden fortune. This preacher, a wolf in sheep's clothing, will stop at nothing to claim the money, forcing the children into a desperate flight for survival. Davis Grubb masterfully crafts a Southern gothic narrative steeped in themes of greed, deception, and the enduring innocence of childhood against overwhelming darkness.
