From his first novel, Garry Brown weaves the tale of a mountain boy in his quest to become a mountain man.
Mordecai Mendenhall, the epitome of everything good, is the only son of a father whose religious beliefs and unyielding ways make an already difficult upbringing confusing and heartrending.
When Mordecai disappears into the rugged Tennessee backwoods without a trace, mountain superstition and lore become real, or so it seems.
The story tells of a journey into a mysterious realm where you must search your mind, your heart, and your soul to reach your own truth of what really happened.
