Items related to A Land More Kind Than Home
We never should've gone up there ...' One Sunday, nine-year-old Jess Hall watches in horror as his autistic brother is smothered during a healing service in the mountains of North Carolina. The unimaginable violence that follows must be untangled by a local sheriff with his own tragic past. A Land More Kind Than Home is a spellbinding, heartbreaking story about cruelty and innocence, and the failure of religion and family to protect a child. It is a novel thick with stories and characters connected by faith, infidelity, and a sense of hope that is both tragic and unforgettable.

Review:
"I think this could be the beginning of a long, fruitful career" (Ernest J. Gaines, author of "A Lesson Before Dying" and "The Autobiography of Jane Pittman")
"One of the most powerful novels I have ever read" (Fred Chappell, author of "I Am One of You Forever" and "Brighten the Corner Where You Are")
"Electrifying debut" (Financial Times)
"Cash's debut novel (A Land More Kind Than Home) is a chilling descent into the world of religious frenzy in small town North Carolina. The languid atmosphere seduces, and Cash's fine first effort pulls the reader into a shadowy, tormented world where wolves prowl in the guise of sheep" (Publishers' Weekly)
"Mesmerizing first novel... intensely felt and beautifully told" (The New York Times)
